There were no surface ships in a U-boat wolf pack. (The submarines, like American subs, were called, "Boats".) The smallest wolf packs were 2 to 4 submarines, while the largest wolf packs could contain up to 20 submarines. The size of the wolf packs always depended on what their commander, Karl Doenitz wanted them to do.

Wolfpack was a naval strategy where a cluster of submarines would attack ships, just like a pack of wolves attacks their prey. In World War II, the German U-Boats used this tactic during the Battle of the Atlantic. The American submarines also did this against Japanese shipping.
