This will probably annoy Ted even more (sorry Ted )

In WW2, a malfunctioning toilet led to the loss of a submarine.

Name the Sub, and explain how a faulty toilet lead to its loss.

I am not sure about the name, But is it due to the suction of the toliet? Or the water in it over flow?

Christ Redcoat! How do you know this..... ? Or were you on the sub when it happened. But I'll start looking right away and see if I can find the answer.

Well I came up with the name: The German submarine U-120. But I haven't found yet why. One sec...... nope.... just that the toilet malfunctioned. I reckon that it started flooding the compartiments... say, the one -way exit malfunctioned and gallons of water poored in! (That last bit is my "knowledge" of submarines, but it would make sense don't you think?)

I'm sorry Ted.
U-120 is not the right answer.
U-120 was scuttled by her crew at the wars end.

ps. The number you posted is close to the right one, but I'm not saying in what way its close .
