Career.
SM "U-118" was commissioned on 8 May 1918, following her construction at the AG Vulcan Stettin shipyard in Hamburg. She was commanded by Herbert Stohwasser and joined the I Flotilla operating in the eastern Atlantic. After four months without
sinking any ships, on 16 September 1918, the SM U-118 scored her first hit. Some north-west of Cape Villano, the U-118 torpedoed and sank the British steamer "Wellington". The following month, on 2 October 1918, she sank her second and last ship, the British tanker "Arca" at about north-west of Tory Island. The ending of hostilities on 11 November 1918 led to the subsequent surrender of the Imperial German Navy. The SM U-118 was transferred to France on 23 February 1919.
