How did the German U boat change the rules of naval warfare?
Weak naval powers, such as Germany during both world wars, had to revert to "Commerce Raiding" (Guerre de Course) as they did not have a powerful enough surface navy to challenge their enemies on the high seas. Thus their submarines fought primarily merchant warfare; and not fleet actions (Guerre de Escadre).
What was Germany's inrestricted submarine warfare plan?
Allied naval blockade of German ports were causing hardship to German citizens and hampering Germany's war effort. However, from the various naval battles with the Royal Navy, the Imperial German Navy had learned that it can not defeat the Allied on surface battle. Hence the aims of lifting Allied naval blockade on German ports and crippling the shipping bloodline of British Empire can not be achieved without the use of submarines. However, normal submarine warfare where U-boats have to surface and reveal its presence before searching and attacking is deemed to be too cumbersome, hence the use of unrestricted submarine warfare.

What strategy did convoys use to help the allies combat German submarines warfare?
They had difficulty in combating merchant convoys to and from their overseas allied nations, as German submarines were a huge threat. Their main tactic was the use of depth-charges, which even if they did not hit the submarine directly, created an overpressure effect which could rupture a sub's hull. They also relied heavily upon heavily-armed naval escorts which had the capacity to fire ship-borne torpedoes, as well as upon their own submarines to track and hunt down German and Japanese ones.
