German submarine U-30 was a Type VIIA U-boat of the German Kriegsmarine during World War II. She was laid down on 24 January 1936, and commissioned on 8 October 1936. During her career U-30 was involved in eight war patrols, under the command of Kptlt. Fritz-Julius Lemp. U-30's career began ingloriously, when on 3 September 1939 she sank the 13,581 ton passenger ship SS Athenia, the first ship sunk in World War II. Lemp's career was almost wrecked, but he pleaded it was a genuine error - mistaking her for an armed merchant cruiser, which he claimed was zig-zagging. U-30 went on to become very successful, sinking 16 merchant ships, totalling 86,165 gross register tons (GRT), and one auxiliary warship of 325 GRT. U-30 also damaged one ship totalling 5,642 GRT, and damaged the battleship HMS Barham. Retired from front-line service in late 1940, U-30 was assigned to training flotillas for the rest of World War II, and was used in the last months as a range boat. It was scuttled on 4 May 1945 in Kupfermühlen Bay and the wreck was later broken up in 1948.
