Service Career
All the boats of the U-66 class saw active service, and all but one boat, U-68, had wartime successes; U-69 and U-70 both sank over 100,000 tons of Allied shipping. U-68 was sunk by the British Q-ship HMS Farnborough in March 1916, and was the first boat of the class to be lost during the war. U-69 and U-66 were lost in July and September 1917, respectively. U-67 and U-70 both survived the war and were surrendered to the United Kingdom in November 1918, and both were broken up by 1921.

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or career:
“The master class seldom lose a chance to insult a woman who has the ability for something besides service to his lordship.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
