I think they were all U boats. U followed by the number. I don't think they had names, not official ones like surface ships.

ADDED: They were just numbered, as you say. I believe the Federal German Navy still uses the same system ('U-boat' is only the Anglicised abbreviation for 'Untersee Boot', which means... 'undersea boat'). The Royal Navy names its submarines as it does for surface ships, but all RN vessels are also given fleet numbers.
