Austria-Hungary's U-boat fleet was largely obsolete at the outbreak of World War I. [2] The Austro-Hungarian Navy satisfied its most urgent needs by purchasing five Type UB I submarines that comprised the U-10 class from Germany, [3] by raising and recommissioning the sunken French submarine Curie as U-14, [2] [Note 1] and by building four submarines of the U-20 class that were based on the ...
The U-5 class was a class of three submarines or U-boats that were operated by the Austro-Hungarian Navy (German: Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine or K.u.K. Kriegsmarine) before and during World War I. The class was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Navy's efforts to competitively evaluate three foreign submarine designs.
The Austro-Hungarian Navy's U-boat fleet at the beginning of World War I consisted of six largely experimental submarines, two of which were not operational. [3] [ Note 1] When it became apparent that the war would not be a short one, [4] Austria-Hungary moved to bolster their U-boat fleet by seizing the plans for the Danish Havmanden-class submarines, [5] three of which had been built at ...

The Austro-Hungarian Navy, after competitively evaluating six submarines of three foreign designs, had selected the Germaniwerft 506d design over a design from Whitehead & Co. for the U-7 class. The boats, numbered U-7 to U-11 , were designed to be 228 feet (69 m) long and displace between 695 and 885 tonnes (766 and 976 short tons) when ...
The boat was commissioned into the Austro-Hungarian Navy in August 1909, and served as a training boat—sometimes making as many as ten cruises a month—through the beginning of the First World War in 1914. At the start of that conflict, she was one of only four operational submarines in the Austro-Hungarian Navy U-boat fleet.
The class was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Navy's efforts to competitively evaluate three foreign submarine designs. The two U-3 -class boats, both launched in 1908, were just under 140 feet (43 m) long and were each powered by two kerosene two-stroke engines while surfaced, and two electric motors when submerged.
