Design

[edit]

German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorterType VIIB submarines.U-1195 had a displacement of 769 tonnes (757 long tons) when at the surface and 871 tonnes (857 long tons) while submerged.[3] She had a total length of 67.10 m (220 ft 2 in), apressure hull length of 50.50 m (165 ft 8 in), abeam of 6.20 m (20 ft 4 in), a height of 9.60 m (31 ft 6 in), and adraught of 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in). The submarine was powered by twoGermaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylindersuperchargeddiesel engines producing a total of 2,800 to 3,200 metric horsepower (2,060 to 2,350 kW; 2,760 to 3,160 shp) for use while surfaced, twoAEG GU 460/8–27double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 metric horsepower (550 kW; 740 shp) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.23 m (4 ft)propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750 ft).[3]

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 17.7 knots (32.8 km/h; 20.4 mph) and a maximum submerged speed of 7.6 knots (14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph).[3] When submerged, the boat could operate for 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi) at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph); when surfaced, she could travel 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 km; 9,800 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).U-1195 was fitted with five 53.3 cm (21 in)torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteentorpedoes, one8.8 cm (3.46 in) SK C/35 naval gun, (220 rounds), one3.7 cm (1.5 in) Flak M42 and two twin2 cm (0.79 in) C/30 anti-aircraft guns. The boat had acomplement of between forty-four and sixty.[3]

Service history

[edit]

Under the command of Ernst Cordes, she sank theLiberty ShipJohn R. Park.[4][5] on 21 March 1945. Another account suggests the ship sunk was theJames Eagan Layne[6] though this sinking is usually credited toU-399.[7]

U-1195 attackedConvoy VWP 16 in theEnglish Channel, sinking the troop transportCuba[1] on 6 April 1945. She was sunk by one of the convoy's escorts, theRoyal NavydestroyerHMS Watchman, using aHedgehogantisubmarinemortar[8] on 7 April 1945 to the southeast of theIsle of Wight at50°33′22.26″N0°56′17.81″W / 50.5561833°N 0.9382806°W /50.5561833; -0.9382806 (WGS84) in 30 metres (98 feet) of water.[1] Fifty crew members were alive when she sank; however, only 14 survived.[5][9] Kemp reports the crew had to make a risky underwater escape from the wrecked vessel.[10]
