U 23 was a German U-boat lost in 1915 during World War I, likely sunk by the British anti-submarine ship HMS *Vigilant* after a brief engagement off the coast of Scotland. The submarine was part of the Imperial German Navy’s efforts to disrupt Allied shipping, and its loss marked an early success for British naval defenses against the U-boat threat.
