Construction and career

The U-boat was launched on 6 July 1918 and completed on 16 December 1918. Because UC-110 was finished after the end of fighting, she was never commissioned into the German Imperial Navy; had she been so commissioned, she would have been named SM UC-110. UC-110 was surrendered to the Allies at Harwich in 1919 in accordance with the requirements of the Armistice with Germany. She was retained by the UK for possible experimental work, but was in the event laid up at Portsmouth until scuttled in the English Channel on 1 July 1920.
