U-boat Operations

U-boat operations involved German submarines during wartime, primarily during World Wars I and II, used to disrupt enemy shipping by sinking cargo ships and naval vessels. They operated stealthily, using advanced navigation and sonar technology to locate and attack targets unseen. U-boats would patrol strategic maritime routes, often deploying wolfpack tactics, where multiple submarines coordinated attacks. Their goal was to cut off supplies and weaken enemy economies, but these operations risked detection and counterattack. Despite technological advancements, anti-submarine efforts eventually limited U-boat effectiveness, but they remained a formidable threat in naval warfare.
