Fate
11 Jul 1917 -
Last contact on July 11, 1917 while en route to patrol station off Ireland. 40 dead (all hands lost).
Loss possibly linked to D/C attack on July 12 off Norway. The German official history notes an U-boat was operating through at least July 26 in the Irish Sea at this time that could only have been U 69, though this does not offer a cause for her loss.
