The SM U-9 was a revolutionary petroleum-electric U-boat that changed the course of naval warfare during World War I. Commanded by Kapitänleutnant Otto Weddigen, the U-9 achieved a historic feat by sinking three British armored cruisers – HMS Aboukir, HMS Hogue, and HMS Cressy – in a single engagement, followed shortly by HMS Hawke. For this unprecedented achievement, the U-9 was awarded the honor of bearing the Iron Cross on her conning tower – a distinction shared only with the cruiser SMS Emden.
