SM U-156 was a German Type U 151 U-boat commissioned in 1917 for the Imperial German Navy. From 1917 until her disappearance in September 1918 she was part of the U-Kreuzer Flotilla, and was responsible for sinking 45 ships and damaging two others. She is best known for her attack on Orleans, Massachusetts, the only time during the war that the American mainland was hit by enemy fire.
