UB84

The UB84 page says nothing about the Following.

U. B. 84 was rammed in Eckernforde Bay on December 6, 1917, by the torpedo target ship Solingen, which passed over her, damaging her conning tower and bow compartment. The submarine sank immediately, but, by blowing all tanks, she was brought to the surface and remained there one and a half to two minutes before sinking to the bottom. All the crew came up on deck, with the exception of the engine-room watch of seven men, who were unable to escape, as the water-tight door between engine room and living quarters could not be opened. These men went down again with the boat. They responded to the tappings of divers for 30 hours, but it was impossible to rescue them.

The above is from hisory.navy.mil Did UB84 become a training boat after being
raised?

Respectfully,

Joe R
