The U-boat was ordered on 12 January 1916 and was launched on 12 August 1916. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 5 December 1916 as SM ''UC-72''.〔"SM" stands for "Seiner Majestät" ((英語:His Majesty's)) and combined with the ''U'' for ''Unterseeboot'' would be translated as ''His Majesty's Submarine''.〕 In 8 patrols ''UC-72'' was credited with sinking 38 ships, either by torpedo or by mines laid. ''UC-72'' disappeared after 21 August 1917.〔
The wreck of ''UC-72'' was identified by marine archaeologist Innes McCartney off Dover in 2013. The wreck seems to have fallen victim to a mine while inbound from patrol.
