German Type IXC/40 submarines were slightly larger than the original Type IXCs. U-1225 had a displacement of Шаблон:Convert when at the surface and Шаблон:Convert while submerged.Шаблон:Sfn The U-boat had a total length of Шаблон:Convert, a pressure hull length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, a height of Шаблон:Convert, and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. The submarine was powered by two MAN M 9 V 40/46 supercharged four-stroke, nine-cylinder diesel engines producing a total of Шаблон:Convert for use while surfaced, two Siemens-Schuckert 2 GU 345/34 double-acting electric motors producing a total of Шаблон:Convert for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two Шаблон:Convert propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Шаблон:Convert and a maximum submerged speed of Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn When submerged, the boat could operate for Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert; when surfaced, she could travel Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert. U-1225 was fitted with six Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and two at the stern), 22 torpedoes, one [[10.5 cm SK C/32 naval gun|Шаблон:Convert SK C/32 naval gun]], 180 rounds, and a [[3.7 cm Flak 18/36/37/43|Шаблон:Convert Flak M42]] as well as two twin [[2 cm FlaK 30|Шаблон:Convert C/30]] anti-aircraft guns.

Service history
U-1225 had a short but active career. She departed Kristiansand on 20 June 1944, never to return. Four days out of port, the new submarine was attacked by Canso aircraft of No. 162 Squadron RCAF. The flying boat was shot down, but not before her depth charges fatally wounded the U-boat. All 56 sailors went down with the sub. Three of the eight aircrew from the Catalina were lost as well.[2] The pilot, David Ernest Hornell, was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross.
