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:
“Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
