The first U-Boat was adapted from a group of 5 Karp class vessels that were built for export to Russia during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. U1 was taken from this group and commissioned into the German Navy in 1906; she displaced 238 tons and was 140 feet long with one torpedo tube & a complement of 12 men.
