U-boat fleet
A U-boat fleet refers to a group of German submarines used primarily during the World Wars. These submarines, or U-boats, were designed to stealthily attack enemy ships below the water surface, aiming to disrupt supply lines and weaken adversaries. They played a significant role in naval warfare by operating covertly, launching torpedoes, and avoiding detection. The U-boat fleet was a strategic asset for Germany, shaping maritime combat and impacting international shipping and naval tactics during the conflicts.
