Maruki_Hurakami comments on Aerial view of a beached U-Boat in the UK, WW1, 1919

I might be misremembering, but I thought U-boats were known for speed and maneuverability. So I thought they'd be smaller for sure.

Not really that U-boat had a surface speed of 14kn and a submerged speed of 7km. Think of them more of ambush than quick strike.

That makes sense! Thanks for clarifying that.
