German submarine U-44 (1939)
German submarine U-44 was a Type IXAU-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine that operated during World War II. She was ordered in November 1936 and laid down in September 1938 in Bremen. She was launched in August 1939 and commissioned in November.
During her service in the Kriegsmarine, U-44 conducted only two war patrols and sank a total of eight enemy vessels for a loss of 30,885 GRT. On 13 March 1940, she struck a mine that was located in field Number 7 off the north coast of the Netherlands. All 47 of her 's crew members went down with the submarine.
Construction
U-44 was ordered by the Kriegsmarine on 21 November 1936 (as part of Plan Z and in violation of the Treaty of Versailles). She was laid down on 15 September 1938 by AG Weser, in Bremen as yard number 949. U-44 was launched on 5 August 1939 and commissioned on 4 November of that same year under the command of Kapitänleutnant Ludwig Mathes.
Design
As one of the eight original German Type IX submarines, later designated IXA, U-44 had a displacement of 1,032 tonnes (1,016 long tons) when at the surface and 1,153 tonnes (1,135 long tons) while submerged. The U-boat had a total length of 76.50 m (251 ft), a pressure hull length of 58.75 m (192 ft 9 in), a beam of 6.51 m (21 ft 4 in), a height of 9.40 m (30 ft 10 in), and a draught of 4.70 m (15 ft 5 in). The submarine was powered by two MAN M 9 V 40/46 supercharged four-stroke, nine-cylinder diesel engines producing a total of 4,400 metric horsepower (3,240 kW; 4,340 shp) for use while surfaced, two Siemens-Schuckert 2 GU 345/34 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 1,000 metric horsepower (740 kW; 990 shp) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.92 m (6 ft) propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750 ft).
SM UB-44
SM UB-44 was a Type UB II submarine or U-boat for the German Imperial Navy (German: Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. UB-44 operated in the Mediterranean and disappeared in August 1916.
UB-44 was ordered in July 1915 and was laid down at the AG Weser shipyard in Bremen in September. UB-44 was a about 37 metres (121 ft 5 in) in length and displaced between 270 and 305 tonnes (266 and 300 long tons), depending on whether surfaced or submerged. She was equipped to carry a complement of four torpedoes for her two bow torpedo tubes and had an 5-centimeter (2.0 in) deck gun. As part of a group of six submarines selected for Mediterranean service, UB-44 was broken into railcar sized components and shipped to Pola where she was assembled and launched in April 1916 and commissioned in May.
In two patrols in her three-month career, UB-44 sank one ship of 3,409 gross register tons (GRT). In early August 1916, UB-44 departed from Cattaro for Hersingstand and never arrived. Her fate is officially unknown, but she may have been sunk by a torpedo boat near the island of Paxoi on 8 August.

My Bad
by: I15[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,
