It is the British's nickname for the German is 'Jerry'. In WW1 they used "Hun". Some continued that usage into WW2. The American's nickname for the German is 'kraut'. The German's nickname for the British is 'Tommy', and for the Americans is 'Ami'.
Same as subs from other nations. The first German U-Boats, such as U1 (launched in 1906) which originated from a batch of subs sold to Russia during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 had one torpedo tube. By WWII some subs had 6 tubes, plus a deck gun.

German subs were looking for targets; just like the Japanese subs were off the US west coast...looking for targets.
Operation Deadlight was the scuttling in deep waters of most of the German subs. So a LOT of German subs were used there to be sunk. The Navy did retain a number and used most of them for target practice later on. Some lived on to be museum ships. But the sheer number of the German subs captured meant scuttling was the only option: the Allies were already waist-deep in surplus ships and subs themselves and many of those were scuttled or scrapped as well.
Most subs that were lost we're on Germany's side because they employes the most subs, and after the code was broken subs began sinking on the German side routinely.

The first German vessel commissioned in the German navy in 1906 came from group of 4 (or 5) subs sold to Russia during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904; that boat was about 140 feet long, and displaced roughtly 238 tons.
Same as subs from other nations, only the markings (words/numbers) were in German.
