German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-1195 had a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert". when at the surface and Script error: No such module "convert". while submerged.Template:Sfn She had a total length of Script error: No such module "convert"., a pressure hull length of Script error: No such module "convert"., a beam of Script error: No such module "convert"., a height of Script error: No such module "convert"., and a draught of Script error: No such module "convert".. The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of Script error: No such module "convert". for use while surfaced, two AEG GU 460/8–27 double-acting electric motors producing a total of Script error: No such module "convert". for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two Script error: No such module "convert". propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to Script error: No such module "convert"..Template:Sfn

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Script error: No such module "convert". and a maximum submerged speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..Template:Sfn When submerged, the boat could operate for Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert".; when surfaced, she could travel Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert".. U-1195 was fitted with five Script error: No such module "convert". torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one Script error: No such module "convert".

Service history

Under the command of Ernst Cordes, she sank the Liberty Ship John R. Park.[2][3] on 21 March 1945. Another account suggests the ship sunk was the Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".[4] though this sinking is usually credited to Template:GS.[5]

U-1195 attacked Convoy VWP 16 in the English Channel, sinking the troop transport Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".[6] on 6 April 1945. She was sunk by one of the convoyTemplate:'s escorts, the Royal Navy destroyer Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities"., using a Hedgehog antisubmarine mortar[7] on 7 April 1945 to the southeast of the Isle of Wight at Script error: No such module "Coordinates". (WGS84) in 30 metres (98 feet) of water.[6] Fifty crew members were alive when she sank; however, only 14 survived.[3][8] Kemp reports the crew had to make a risky underwater escape from the wrecked vessel.[9]
