U-Boat 110
 

It was UB-110, not U-110
 

It's an interesting article, but like so much of today's news is inaccurate and suffers from shallow reporting.

The photos came from this site: https://www.flickr.com/photos/twm_ne...7633570788096/

The beginning correctly describes her as UB-110, but goes on to conflate her with U-110, an entirely different submarine.

The U-boat that is the subject of the photos, and was rammed, sunk and subsequently raised by the Royal Navy was a UB III class boat, UB-110. The UB boats were smaller, shorter range coastal subs. They were used in the waters surrounding the UK. Her commander was Werner Fürbringer, who was a very successful U-boat ace credited with sinking over a 100 ships. Rather than dying in 1918, he was taken prisoner and later went on to be a Vice Admiral in WWII.

The U-boat commanded by Kroll that sank 10 ships was U-110, a larger long range boat that could patrol all the way to the US. Kroll was KIA when U-110 was sunk.
