U-Boat Image ID Need Help!

Wigabee · 11-28-13, 07:21 PM

I was given a framed print of this exact photo some time ago and ever since I started trying to identify it, I've been overwhelmed with different possibilities. I've heard that it was either a VIIA or VIIB but some even thought it was a World War One era type UB. If anyone can properly identify it, I would be very grateful! Thanks!

It could be a type UB III class? The net cutter looks very suspicious. Need to look at more photos.

I think you nailed it. Looks like a UBIII more than anything else printed in Rossler's book.

Just checked my copy.

I think it is a UBIII class. @ sets of floats on the cables, The deck railing kinda matches, and the bow looks kinda short compared to a WW2 VIIA.

Believe it is the SM (Seiner Majestät) UB 148 built by AG Weser of Bremen and commissioned in 1918 and sunk after the German Armistice of 1918 by USS Sicard as a target.
