Album info

The 3.000 tons German Uboat cruiser SM U-140 raided the US north-east coast in the summer of 1918. His victim on August 4, 1918, was the American 10.000 GRT tanker O.B. Jennings, which sank after heavy artillery fire from U-140's 15 cm guns 100 miles off the Virginia coast.
3 units of the U-139 class were build. After the war the U-140 became the USS U-140 (1919-1921), and U-139 the French Halbronn (1921-1935).
