UB-76 was serving in the Training Flotilla. On 12 February 1919 she was surrendered in accordance with the requirements of the Armistice with Germany and broken up in Rochester in 1922.[1]
She was built by Blohm & Voss of Hamburg and following just under a year of construction, launched at Hamburg on 5 May 1917. UB-76 was commissioned later that same year under the command of Kptlt. Erich Gerth. Like all Type UB III submarines, UB-76 carried 10 torpedoes and was armed with a 8.8 cm (3.46 in) deck gun. UB-76 would carry a crew of up to 3 officer and 31 men and had a cruising range of 8,680 nautical miles (16,080 km; 9,990 mi). UB-76 had a displacement of 516 t (508 long tons) while surfaced and 648 t (638 long tons) when submerged. Her engines enabled her to travel at 13.6 knots (25.2 km/h; 15.7 mph) when surfaced and 7.8 knots (14.4 km/h; 9.0 mph) when submerged.
