the Germans' launhced the 1st U boat in 1906 and from the German word- U boat-meaning (underseaboot) the meaning explains what type of ship the U boat was like. like a submarine, but even bigger, it's modified karp was 139 feet long, displaced 239 tons, and had a range of 2,000 miles, a surface speed of 11 knots, and a submerged speed of 9 knots, and was joined by it's twin- U-2, in 1908.
Yes the Germans created uboats, they have had them since the dawn of time, litterally
The Allies sunk German Uboats. Uboat, not you-boat. Uboats stand for Unterseeboot - undersea boat.
The submarines attacked Pearl Harbor
a group of German uboats that hunted Allied and US ships
the u boat is a submarine. it was made to hit and sink British ships
It sank up to 2,779 ships in world war 2
Yeah I actually think the lusitania was one of the first boats sunk from a Uboat
The invention of radar helped the Allies to locate and sink the German U Boats.
the Germans used uboats and kept torpedoing cargo ships so the inhabitants didn't get the supplies they needed
The Germans then threatened to use only Uboats for war and blew up a few ships.
because of the alliances the US had made previous to the start of the war along with the threat of the German Uboats attacking US civilians and property.
Uboats were made to attack and sink merchant ships carrying supplies to Great Britain. Germany knew if they managed to cut Britain's supplies off then they would be unable to continue the war. They did this by launching torpedos which blew holes in enemy ships under the waterline, causing them to take on water and sink. As the war progressed, more and more were built to combat military ships as well as merchant vessels. Hope this helps.
