Detailed explanation-1: -U-boat, German U-boot, abbreviation of Unterseeboot, (“undersea boat”), a German submarine. The destruction of enemy shipping by German U-boats was a spectacular feature of both World Wars I and II.
Detailed explanation-2: -A U-boat is a type of submarine used by Germany during World War I and II. It was designed for coastal defense, but it could also be used to attack merchant ships in the open ocean. A submarine, on the other hand, is an underwater vessel that can operate independently or as part of a larger fleet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The formidable U-boats (unterseeboots) prowled the Atlantic armed with torpedoes. They were Germany’s only weapon of advantage as Britain effectively blocked German ports to supplies. The goal was to starve Britain before the British blockade defeated Germany.
Detailed explanation-4: -Germany has commissioned over 1, 500 U-boats (German: Unterseeboot) into its various navies from 1906 to the present day. The submarines have usually been designated with a U followed by a number, although World War I coastal submarines and coastal minelaying submarines used the UB and UC prefixes, respectively.
