SM U-55 was one of the six Type U 51 U-boats of the Imperial German Navy during the First World War, .
U 55 was ordered from Germaniawerft, Kiel on 23 August 1914, was laid down on 28 December 1914 and launched on 18 March 1916. She was commissioned under her first commander Wilhelm Werner on 8 June 1916.
Werner commanded her for most of her wartime career, during which she undertook 14 patrols with II Flotilla, sinking 64 ships for a total of 130,387 GRT. She also damaged another five for a total of 25,568 GRT, and took another two as prizes for a total of 4,616 GRT. Her most famous act was the sinking of the British passenger liner RMS Carpathia with three torpedoes, on 17 July 1918, off the east coast of Ireland. The Carpathia herself had become famous for her actions in coming to the rescue of the sinking RMS Titanic in 1912. The U-55 also sank the hospital ship HMHS Rewa on 4 January 1918.
Werner was replaced by Alexander Weiss on 10 August 1918, Weiss being succeeded by Hans Friedrich on 15 September and commanding U 55 until the armistice on 11 November.
U55 is an U-Bahn line in the German capital city of Berlin. It connects the new Berlin Hauptbahnhof, or main railway station, to an interchange with the S-Bahn at Brandenburger Tor. Currently, it has only three stations, does not connect to any other U-Bahn line, and is operated as a shuttle line using a single train.
The line is the newest U-Bahn line, and was constructed as part of an extension of the U5 that was subsequently postponed due to financial difficulties. As much of the work on this disconnected section of the extension had been completed, it was decided to complete the section and open it as a separate line. The line was opened in 2009, and work is now under way on the missing section needed to unite it with U5.

A British submarine on a mission to deliver supplies to Norwegian resistance fighters spots an unsuspecting enemy submarine in 1944. It's simply too good an opportunity to pass up. From the Series: Hell Below: Sub Vs Sub http://bit.ly/2NZrCDL

El RMS Carpathia fue un transatlánticobritánico de la compañía naviera Cunard Line que fue construido en los astilleros de Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson. Su construcción fue iniciada en septiembre de 1901, siendo botado al mar en agosto de 1902. Realizó su viaje inaugural en mayo de 1903. El Carpathia fue diseñado para transportar inmigrantes del este europeo y personas de clase media, ofreciendo un confort mayor que el de otros buques de la época. En 1905 fue añadida una primera clase, y se aumentaron las instalaciones de la tercera clase. Después de nueve años en servicio sin ningún incidente destacado, el Carpathia recibió las llamadas de socorro del RMS Titanic en la madrugada del 15 de abril de 1912 mientras realizaba su rutinaria travesía desde Nueva York hacia Fiume (Austria-Hung...
Germany’s submarines posed a huge threat to allied ships in the Second World War. In fact, Winston Churchill later famously said that the Kriegsmarine's U-Boats were his biggest worry during the war - but surprisingly the deadliest submarine of all time actually operated some 20 years earlier at the height of the First World War! SM U-35 amassed a victory tally which has never since been rivalled, sinking some 226 Allied and neutral ships.

This July has been quite a month for scuba diving beyond 100m to explore significant wrecks. The latest such technical dive has taken place off Shetland, with the positive identification of a deep-lying U-boat sunk by Royal Navy warships during World War One. Rebreather divers from the Orkney-based diving liveaboard mv Valhalla became the first to visit the German mine-layer SM UC-55 on 21 July – at a maximum depth of 104m. The 415-tonne UC-11-class submarine was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy in November 1916. Fifty metres long, it carried 27 crew and was fitted with six 39in mine-tubes with 18 mines; one stern and two bow 20in torpedo-tubes with seven torpedoes; and a 3.5in deck-gun. Over six patrols, UC-55 had already been credited with sinking nine merchant ships and da...
[I15:]
Uh check this out ma,
Look I didn't mean to hurt you,
But I thought we had an understanding about how it's gonna be,
You know, (Yeaah Mann!)
You roll through or I roll through, (F to the A-B)
And we just do what we do,
You know what I'm saying, (I-15)
I ain't looking for no relationship,
But I'm goin ahead let my boy Fab holla at you...
[Fabolous:]
Yeah, this is real talk,
I told you there was others,
Now we go to war like soldiers with each other,
I'm trying to let it go not hold you like a lover,
See I'm simply P-I-M-P,
So I gotta stable-a chicks,
Unable to pick,
A babe I can lick out,
And I be labelled a trick,
If you down you can roll and if you not you can stroll,
It's just that easy,
When F-A-B's here...
[I15:]
Girl you got it twisted,
You already know how I get down,
Now you out here trippin',
On some sh*t that we already talked about,
I just want to hit it,
And you said that was cool with you,
Now you here crying to me,
Saying you want to be with a player like me,
That ain't cool...
[Chorus: I15]
My bad, didn't mean you to make you want it like that,
And I hang up, and you call me right back,
It's like you don't even know how to act, (What's going on...)
My bad, baby girl we barely even friends,
I just like to smash it now and then,
Now you got me scared to hit it again,
[I15:]
Now I don't mean to hurt you,
But it's not like you didn't know,
From the beginning,
Now you saying that you can't stand to be without me,
Now girl you talking crazy,
I'm not trying to deal with you,
Gonna keep it real with you,
Shorty I don't want to be with you...
[Chorus: I15]
My bad, didn't mean you to make you want it like that,
And I hang up, and you call me right back, (Back...)
It's like you don't even know how to act, (What's going on...)
My bad, baby girl we barely even friends, (Friends...)
I just like to smash it now and then,
Now you got me scared to hit it again, (Yeah...)
[Fabolous:]
Now you know I come through every now and then,
To see how you been couple of thou' to spend,
But you knows how it goes,
Girls act like you suppose to propose... After a month,
But I choose to refuse,
I'm the kind of the man that do's what I choose,
Whenever I want,
And it's never to front,
It's just to let you know,
It's cheaper to keep her,
I'll still will let you go, girl...
[I15:]
I've lost my patience,
With these ultimatums,
Tryin' to lock me down like incarceration,
I don't cuff 'em when I grab 'em,
I thug them with the passion,
Still running from the last one,
They tugging on my ass clip,
I don't what it is, I'm cool on that "Might Be" tip,
I ain't Damon, I'm too young for a wife and kids,
I kick it "if we", like Vivica and 50,
Like Fab said simply, we P-I-M-P...
[Chorus x2: I15]
My bad, didn't mean you to make you want it like that,
And I hang up, and you call me right back,
It's like you don't even know how to act,
My bad, baby girl we barely even friends,
I just like to smash it now and then,
