Service

While operating in the eastern English Channel with Fifth Submarine Flotilla (part of the Dover Patrol),[5] C 15 sank the homeward-bound UC 65 in a submerged attack on 3 November, 1917 at 50° 28' N., 0° 17' E.. The German commander had noted C 15's periscope a half-hour earlier, but failed to take evasive action, seemingly confident his speed would not permit a successful attack.[6][7]
