German submarine U-14 (1936)
- German submarine U-14 (1936)
Unterseeboot 14 or U-14 was a German Type IIB U-boat during World War II. It served with 3. Unterseebootflottille from January 18 1936 to October 31 1939. U-14 completed six wartime patrols and sank nine ships totalling 12,344 Gross Registered Tonnage.
Early in the war, on 3 September 1939, U-14 attacked a Polish submarine and claimed to have sunk it. In reality the Polish submarine, ORP Sęp, was not damaged as the torpedo launched by U-14 exploded prematurely [http://www.polishnavy.pl/ships/submarines/sep/operational.html] .
After serving six operational patrols, U-14 was used as a training boat, and transferred to U-boat training flotillas, serving with 23. Unterseebootflottille and 24. Unterseebootflottille until the end of the war. Despite the high casualties suffered by the Unterseebootwaffen (German Submarine arm), U-14 suffered no known casualties during the War. U-14 was scuttled on May 2 1945 at Wilhelmshaven.
