Give the name of submarines used by German's in world war 2?
I think they were all U boats. U followed by the number. I don't think they had names, not official ones like surface ships. ADDED: They were just numbered, as you say. I believe the Federal German Navy still uses the same system ('U-boat' is only the Anglicised abbreviation for 'Untersee Boot', which means... 'undersea boat'). The Royal Navy names its submarines as it does for surface ships, but all RN vessels are also given fleet numbers.
How were merchant ships protected in World War 1?
Your teacher is probably referring to the "Convoy System" that was developed by the British Royal Navy & used by the Allies. It meant that merchant ships with the same cruising speeds traveled together in a group or "convoy". The group may be escorted by Navy warships that were capable of protecting the merchants from German U-boats, Q-ships, or surface raiders. Ships that were very slow, or fast would not travel in a convoy.
