Often by ramming them with specially-constructed rams built into the ship structure. Persian ships did the same but being larger usually tried to board. The agility of the Athenian ships gave an advantage.
Themistocles was the Athenian leader who sank most of the Persian fleet at Salamis.
In civilian ships alone, the figure was in the thousands. <><><> During WW II, German U-Boats sank 175 Allied warships; 2,825 merchant ships
The Greeks sank half the Persian fleet off the coast of Salamis.
U-Boats are submarines. Surface raiders would be warships (primarily battle-cruisers, pocket battleships, battleships & heavy cruisers) and disguised armed merchant ships (Q-ships).

U-boat warfare was the German response to the British blockade.
YES! the Athenian navy was very strong but only because they had a strong back bone. This "backbone" was their strongest and best ship the trireme. The trireme had a simple but affective job, it was to ram into the other boats with their battering ram on the bow of their boat. They would ram the same boat continuously until the other boat sank.
