This question appears to be about U-Boats or submarines. In WW 1, the Germans had a large submarine fleet that terrorized Atlantic Ocean shipping. For a time, Germany announced that all ships were potential targets. This is one of the several reasons the United States entered WW 1.
There were Allied defenses against U-Boats and using various explosives a good number of Germany's submarines were sunk.
The Allies sunk German Uboats. Uboat, not you-boat. Uboats stand for Unterseeboot - undersea boat.

The Lusitania was a passenger ship sunk by a German U-boat during WW1 who thought it was carrying supplies to britain for the war effort. The ship sunk in 18 minutes killing thousands of innocent citizens. This outrage is one of the leading factors bringing America into WW1.
Crews of merchant ships should moved into safety before their ships are sunk
Well over a dozen US Navy riverine boats were sunk in the Vietnam War; Swift Boats (PCF); PBRs (Patrol Boat River), Alpha Boats (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boats); unknown number of Monitors sunk, if any. The ex-USN Aircraft Carrier USS Card was sunk by communist sappers in harbor in South Vietnam.

Because Germany sunk the Lusitania and that gave us an excuse to get involved, there where unarmed American civilians on the ship.
