World wide, probably close to 2,000 subs were in use; with Germany using close to a thousand of them.

Ans 2 - During WW2 the Germans had 1,072 subs and lost 705.

The Japanese had 181 and lost 130

The Royal Navy had 218 and lost 76.

The US Navy had 288 and lost 52

The Soviet Navy had 280 and lost110

The Italian Navy had 172 and lost 128

Other Navies such as Netherlands, Poland etc. had small numbers of submarines, but I don't have accurate records of how many.

The total number would be a bit over 2,000
