The submarine sank 29 ships in 18 patrols for a total of {{GRT|20,224|disp=long}}.{{sfn|Bendert|2000|p=195}} UB-22 was mined and sunk in the same accident with the torpedoboat S 16 in the North Sea at {{coord|54|40|N|6|32|E|display=title, inline}} on 19 January 1918 in a British minefield. DesignA German Type UB II submarine, UB-22 had a displacement of {{convert|263|t|LT}} when at the surface and {{convert|292|t|LT}} while submerged. She had a total length of {{convert|36.13|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, a beam of {{convert|4.36|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, and a draught of {{convert|3.70|m|ftin|abbr=on}}. The submarine was powered by two Körting six-cylinder, four-stroke diesel engines each producing a total {{convert|280|PS|shp kW}}, a Siemens-Schuckert electric motor producing {{convert|206|kW|shp PS}}, and one propeller shaft. She was capable of operating at depths of up to {{convert|50|m}}.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|pp=23-25}} The submarine had a maximum surface speed of {{convert|9.15|kn}} and a maximum submerged speed of {{convert|5.81|kn}}. When submerged, she could operate for {{convert|45|nmi}} at {{convert|4|kn}}; when surfaced, she could travel {{convert|6650|nmi}} at {{convert|5|kn}}. UB-22 was fitted with two {{convert|50|cm}} torpedo tubes, four torpedoes, and one {{convert|5|cm|in|sp=us|abbr=on}} SK L/40 deck gun.
