Project history

War orders G (U93-98), K (U105-114), R (U160-172) and Y (U201-212). Double-hulled. They had a diving time of 66 seconds (later boats to 45 seconds), and in most respects resembled previous classes. U210-212 of U201 group (War order Y) were cancelled before they were laid down. Also were cancelled very similar U229-246 by Germaniawerft, Kiel, U247-262 by Bremer Vulkan, Vegesack and U263-276 by Schichau, Danzig (all of War order AD).
