Les Sous-Marin 'U C 5': A British Trophy of the First World War, 1916. This photograph captures the moment of triumph for the British Navy as they proudly display their latest acquisition, the German minelayer UC5, nicknamed 'Les Sous-Marin' or 'The Submarine'. The image, taken from the 'Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916', showcases the UC5 as a trophy, a testament to the naval superiority of the British forces during World War I. The UC5, a German Type UC II submarine, was captured by the Royal Navy on November 21, 1916, in the English Channel. The submarine, with its menacing presence and deadly capabilities, had posed a significant threat to Allied shipping during the war. With the capture of UC5, the British were able to study its design and technology, gaining valuable insights into the enemy's naval capabilities. In the photograph, a group of sailors stand proudly on the deck of the UC5, with the British ensign flying high. The submarine, now a trophy, is anchored in the water, surrounded by other ships and boats. The image conveys a sense of victory and accomplishment, highlighting the bravery and determination of the British Navy during the First World War. The photograph is a reminder of the naval warfare that took place during the conflict, with submarines playing a crucial role in the battle for control of the seas. The UC5, now a British trophy, stands as a symbol of the Royal Navy's dominance and the eventual Allied victory in the war.
