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.

What nations used the Wolfpack naval tactic?

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. Anywhere between 3 and 34 submarines were used in convoys that involved the sinking of a ship. During the Iraqi War in 2003 the term Wolfpack referred to the American and British submarines working together to launch Tomahawk missiles against Iraqi targets.
