- German submarine U-39 (1938)
Unterseeboot 39 (also known as U-39) was a Type IX U-boat of the Kriegsmarine.
Her keel was laid down June 2, 1937, by AG Weser of Bremen. She was commissioned December 10, 1938 with Kapitänleutnant Gerhard Glattes in command.
"U-39" conducted one patrol, as part of the 6. Unterseebootsflottille. On September 14, 1939, "U-39" was depth charged north-west of Scotland by HMS "Faulknor", HMS "Firedrake" and HMS "Foxhound". All 44 crew members survived the sinking, and were taken prisoner by the British.
"U-39" was the first of many U-boats to be sunk in World War II, after it unsuccessfully attacked HMS "Ark Royal".
