German UA class WW1 _merchant_ sub designed to be a blockade runner :)

Boats of the UA class were 230 feet long, about 1500 tons, with a speed of 15.3 knots on the surface and a range of 12,630 miles at 8 knots.

The Deutschland was unarmed and had a wide beam to provide space for a cargo capacity of 700 tons, small if compared with surface ships, but equal to that of seven modern C-5A transport aircraft.
