  • SM U-2 or U-II was a U-1-class submarine or U-boat built for and operated by the Austro-Hungarian Navy (). U-2 was designed by American Simon Lake's Lake Torpedo Boat Company and built at the navy yard in Pola. She was one of two Lake-designed submarines purchased as part of a competitive evaluation of three foreign submarine designs. U-2 was launched in April 1909 and was long and displaced almost surfaced and just under when submerged. The Austro-Hungarian Navy conducted trials for U-2 through 1910. The U-boat was originally powered by two gasoline engines for surface running, and two electric motors when submerged, but during her evaluation period, the gasoline engines were found to be incapable of reaching the contracted speed. U-2 was commissioned in June 1911 and served as a training boat for the Austro-Hungarian Navy through 1914. At the beginning of World War I, U-2 was not operational because she was in drydock awaiting replacement diesel engines. With her new engines and a new conning tower installed by June 1915, U-2 conducted reconnaissance cruises out of Trieste but was declared obsolete in early 1918. U-2 remained in service as a training boat at the submarine base on Brioni, but was at Pola at the end of the war. She was ceded to Italy as a war reparation in 1920 and scrapped at Pola. U-2 did not sink any ships during the war.
