Who owned the u-boats that were sunk in WW1?

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.


What impact did German you-boats have on World War 2?

ANSWER. German U boats were the main threat to the British navy in WWII. As the Royal Navy dominated the German ships at every point the U boats were used to try to turn the naval war. Hitler used U boats to sink British ships that were bringing supplies that the UK had bought from the Canada and the USA so they could fight the worlds war for them. The U boats had some success but never succeeded in cutting the UK off. The British developed SONAR, RADAR, captured the enigma machines aswell as inventing depth charges and this enabled the UK to sink 70%of the U boats. Added to this the RAF bombed the U boat factories which brought an end to U boat production. U boats were basically German submarines.
