Unterseeboot

An Unterseeboot, or U-boat, is a German submarine designed for underwater warfare. It can operate stealthily beneath the surface, targeting enemy ships with torpedoes while avoiding detection. U-boats played a significant role in naval conflicts, especially during World War I and II, disrupting maritime supply routes and challenging surface fleet dominance. They are equipped with advanced sonar, torpedoes, and stealth technology, allowing them to perform reconnaissance, attack, and defend missions in maritime environments. Today, the term is largely historical, but the concept of submarines remains vital in modern naval strategy.
