The German Type UE I submarine was an ocean-going single-hull submarine with saddle tanks built by AG Vulkan in Hamburg and Kaiserliche Werft Danzig. The Type UE I was equipped with two six-cylinder Benz engines for {{convert|900|hp}} for a surface top speed of {{convert|9.6|kn}} to {{convert|10.6|kn}}. Armed with a single torpedo tube forward and aft, plus one 8.8 cm SK L/30 naval gun deck gun (U-72 received a 10.5 cm SK L/45 naval gun gun in 1917), its main weapon were the 38 mines in two minelaying tubes. The boats were crewed by four officers and 28 men for a complement of 32.
