They had 5 torpedo tubes and would carry 11 torpedoes onboard or 22 TMA mines. They also had the effective 88mm fast-firing deck gun with about 160 rounds of ammunition.U-27 was ordered by the Kriegsmarine on 1 April 1935 and her keel was laid down in the Weser shipyard in Bremen as yard number 908 on 11 November 1935. After about nine months of construction, she was launched on 24 June 1936 and commissioned into the Kriegsmarine as the second Type VIIA submarine in the fleet. U-27 had a very short war career. She left Wilhelmshaven on her first patrol on 23 August 1939. For a period of 24 days, she travelled down the coast of Germany and neutral Belgium and the Netherlands, through the English Channel and out into the Atlantic Ocean.After sinking a British trawler by gunfire and another by scuttling charges during the course of a week, she attacked British destroyers HMS Fortune and HMS Faulknor on 20 Sep 1939. The torpedoes exploded prematurely, and the destroyers counterattacked with depth charges, forcing U-27 to surface and surrender. All 38 crew aboard U-27 were captured, and the submarine became the second German submarine to be lost in the war.Please note that this Lot is available to view at the Bonhams Oxford gallery.
