  • German submarine U-32, one of several German submarines
  • SM U-32 (Austria-Hungary), a U-27-class submarine of the  Austro-Hungarian Navy
  • Union 32 High School, a regional high school in East Montpelier, Vermont
  • German submarine U-32 (1937)

    German submarine U-32 was a Type VIIA U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.

    Her keel was laid down on 15 March 1936 by DeSchiMAG AG Weser of Bremen as yard number 913. She was launched on 25 February 1937 and commissioned on 15 April with Kapitänleutnant (Kptlt.) Werner Lott in command. On 15 August 1937, Lott was relieved by Korvettenkapitän (K.Kapt.) Paul Büchel and on 12 February 1940 Oberleutnant zur See (Oblt.z.S.) Hans Jenisch took over, he was in charge of the boat until her loss.

    Design

    As one of the first ten German Type VII submarines later designated as Type VIIA submarines, U-32 had a displacement of 626 tonnes (616 long tons) when at the surface and 745 tonnes (733 long tons) while submerged. She had a total length of 64.51 m (211 ft 8 in), a pressure hull length of 45.50 m (149 ft 3 in), a beam of 5.85 m (19 ft 2 in), a height of 9.50 m (31 ft 2 in), and a draught of 4.37 m (14 ft 4 in). The submarine was powered by two MAN M 6 V 40/46 four-stroke, six-cylinder diesel engines producing a total of 2,100 to 2,310 metric horsepower (1,540 to 1,700 kW; 2,070 to 2,280 shp) for use while surfaced, two BBC GG UB 720/8 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 metric horsepower (550 kW; 740 shp) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.23 m (4 ft) propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750 ft).

    German submarine U-32 (S182)

    U-32 (S182) is the second Type 212A submarine of the German Navy.

    It was built by the German Submarine Consortium at the shipyards of Thyssen Nordseewerke of Emden and HDW at Kiel. The ship was christened on December 4, 2003, and the submarine was ceremonially put into service along with its sister ship U-31 by German Defence minister Peter Struck in Eckernförde on October 19, 2005.

    U-32 is powered by one diesel engine and an electric motor driven by two fuel cells and features a cavitation-free screw, making it virtually undetectable. U-32 was the first non-nuclear submarine to stay submerged for two weeks.

    Korvettenkapitän Michael Bornholt is U-32's commanding officer.

    In March 2013, U-32 crossed the Atlantic Ocean in order to join exercises on the east coast of the United States. During the journey the u-boat remained submerged for 18 days, the longest time any German submarine managed to do so, yet.

    My Bad

    by: I15

    [I15:]
    Uh check this out ma,
    Look I didn't mean to hurt you,
    But I thought we had an understanding about how it's gonna be,
    You know, (Yeaah Mann!)
    You roll through or I roll through, (F to the A-B)
    And we just do what we do,
    You know what I'm saying, (I-15)
    I ain't looking for no relationship,
    But I'm goin ahead let my boy Fab holla at you...
    [Fabolous:]
    Yeah, this is real talk,
    I told you there was others,
    Now we go to war like soldiers with each other,
    I'm trying to let it go not hold you like a lover,
    See I'm simply P-I-M-P,
    So I gotta stable-a chicks,
    Unable to pick,
    A babe I can lick out,
    And I be labelled a trick,
    If you down you can roll and if you not you can stroll,
    It's just that easy,
    When F-A-B's here...
    [I15:]
    Girl you got it twisted,
    You already know how I get down,
    Now you out here trippin',
    On some sh*t that we already talked about,
    I just want to hit it,
    And you said that was cool with you,
    Now you here crying to me,
    Saying you want to be with a player like me,
    That ain't cool...
    [Chorus: I15]
    My bad, didn't mean you to make you want it like that,
    And I hang up, and you call me right back,
    It's like you don't even know how to act, (What's going on...)
    My bad, baby girl we barely even friends,
    I just like to smash it now and then,
    Now you got me scared to hit it again,
    [I15:]
    Now I don't mean to hurt you,
    But it's not like you didn't know,
    From the beginning,
    Now you saying that you can't stand to be without me,
    Now girl you talking crazy,
    I'm not trying to deal with you,
    Gonna keep it real with you,
    Shorty I don't want to be with you...
    [Chorus: I15]
    My bad, didn't mean you to make you want it like that,
    And I hang up, and you call me right back, (Back...)
    It's like you don't even know how to act, (What's going on...)
    My bad, baby girl we barely even friends, (Friends...)
    I just like to smash it now and then,
    Now you got me scared to hit it again, (Yeah...)
    [Fabolous:]
    Now you know I come through every now and then,
    To see how you been couple of thou' to spend,
    But you knows how it goes,
    Girls act like you suppose to propose... After a month,
    But I choose to refuse,
    I'm the kind of the man that do's what I choose,
    Whenever I want,
    And it's never to front,
    It's just to let you know,
    It's cheaper to keep her,
    I'll still will let you go, girl...
    [I15:]
    I've lost my patience,
    With these ultimatums,
    Tryin' to lock me down like incarceration,
    I don't cuff 'em when I grab 'em,
    I thug them with the passion,
    Still running from the last one,
    They tugging on my ass clip,
    I don't what it is, I'm cool on that "Might Be" tip,
    I ain't Damon, I'm too young for a wife and kids,
    I kick it "if we", like Vivica and 50,
    Like Fab said simply, we P-I-M-P...
    [Chorus x2: I15]
    My bad, didn't mean you to make you want it like that,
    And I hang up, and you call me right back,
    It's like you don't even know how to act,
    My bad, baby girl we barely even friends,
    I just like to smash it now and then,
