Project history: Ordered by Turkey in 1937 as Batiray together with two smaller submarines of II series but requisitioned by Germany with the Second World War beginning. She was designed as minelayer, but mines were laid only through TTs. In the remaining she was close to German submarines of IX series, the truth, differed by massive CT with 105mm gun, superficially resembling British-built submarines.
Modernizations: 1942-1943, presumably: + FuMO 30 radar, FuMB 1 Metox ECM suite
1943-1944, presumably: - FuMB 1 Metox ECM suite; + FuMB 3 Bali, FuMB 6 Palau ECM suites
1944-1945, may be: - FuMO 30 radar; + FuMO 61 radar
Naval service: UA was 3.5.1945 scuttled at Kiel.
