Q Ships - which were merchant ships armed with camouflaged weapons which could be used against surface submarines.
Q-ships, also known as "decoy ships" or "mystery ships," were developed by the British Royal Navy during World War I. The concept was to create merchant vessels that appeared unarmed and vulnerable, but were secretly equipped with weapons to lure and ambush enemy submarines. While there isn't a single inventor attributed to Q-ships, the British Admiralty played a crucial role in their design and deployment as part of naval strategy during the war.

U-Boats are submarines. Surface raiders would be warships (primarily battle-cruisers, pocket battleships, battleships & heavy cruisers) and disguised armed merchant ships (Q-ships).
The 'codename' referred to the vessels' home port, Queenstown [now Cobh], in Ireland.
