The Germans very occasionally did transfer one from front to rear, using the same method the used for transferring them from a supply boat (milk cow): inflatable life rafts. It was very labor-intensive, time-consuming and exceedingly dangerous in that it left the crew exposed on the surface for a couple of hours.
