German U-boat design

German U-boats, short for Unterseeboote, are submarine warships designed for stealth and underwater combat. They typically feature a streamlined hull to reduce water resistance, allowing for long-range missions. U-boats are equipped with diesel engines for surface travel and electric batteries for submerged operation, making them quiet and hard to detect. They carry torpedoes and sometimes missiles, enabling attacks on surface ships and convoys. Their design emphasizes stealth, agility, and endurance, with advanced navigation and sonar systems to locate targets while avoiding detection. Overall, U-boat design balances offensive capability with stealth to dominate maritime conflict.
