SM UB-98 was a German Type UB III submarine or U-boat in the German Imperial Navy (German: Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 8 August 1918 as SM UB-98.[Note 1]
UB-98 was surrendered on 21 November 1918 and broken up in Porthmadog in 1922.[2] Reportedly, the steel plates of the submarine were used to line Garnedd Tunnel on the Ffestiniog Railway, but this has never been proven.[4]
