German submarine U-95 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.
The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of 2,800 to 3,200 PS (2,060 to 2,350 kW; 2,760 to 3,160 shp) for use while surfaced, two AEG GU 460/8–27 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 PS (550 kW; 740 shp) for use while submerged.
She entered the Northern Atlantic Ocean and damaged Ringhorn on the 28th with her deck gun, having missed with two torpedoes.
The Germans, believing the ship would sink, left the area but the crew re-boarded her and sailed to Belfast Lough.
U-95 continued the business of damaging ships when she attacked, but did not sink, Walotira 124 nautical miles (230 km; 143 mi) northwest of Rockall on 26 December 1940.
The boat maintained her success on her fourth patrol, sinking Taranger 150 nautical miles (280 km; 170 mi) southwest of Reykjavík in Iceland on 3 May 1941.
150 nm South West of Reykjavík, Iceland whilst on a voyage from Liverpool, England via Panama to Vancouver, BC, Canada in ballast.
The relatively small ship was sunk with 37 rounds from the boat's deck gun due west of La Rochelle on 6 September 1941.
The submarine successfully forced the heavily defended Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Mediterranean Sea.
