German submarine U-140 (1940)
German submarine ''U-140'' was a Type IID U-boat of Nazi Germany's ''Kriegsmarine'' during World War II. She carried out only one combat patrol, but still managed to see action as a training boat in the summer of 1941. Built at the Kiel shipyards during 1939 and 1940, as a Type IID U-boat, she was too small for major operational work in the Atlantic Ocean, which was now required by the ''Kriegsmarine'' as the Battle of the Atlantic expanded.
==War patrol==
''U-140'' only carried out one raiding patrol, under her first captain, Hans-Peter Hinsch. He took her round the north of Scotland in December 1940 following her work-up program, and it was here that she sank her first victim, twelve days into the voyage. Six days later north of Ireland, on 8 December she sank the steel 3-mast barque ''Penang'' of neutral Finland, inbound from Stenhouse Bay, South Australia to Cobh in neutral Ireland with a cargo of grain. The ''Penang'' and her 18 crew were all lost at . Later that day she heard the British freighter ''Ashcrest'' broadcast that she needed assistance as her rudder was broken, at . ''U-140'' sank ''Ashcrest'' with the loss of the entire crew of 37.
She then headed home towards retirement. ''U-140'' was docked, her crew transferred and she was converted into a training boat, designed to operate solely in the Baltic Sea, training submariners for the main U-boat force.
