But if you have not disabled the external cam, you can zoom up close enough to get a good look at them.
If you've disabled it, you'll have to get your u-boat close enough to identify it either through the binocs if you're surfaced or the periscope if you're submerged.
So if you're hooked on playing as realistically as possible, it really is just a matter of getting close enough to ID it.
There is a "flags enlighten" mod that's designed to make it a little easier to ID them; info here:

If full realism is not something you're concerned about, you can also try this mod:

It adds back in the colors for contacts on your nav map, which will allow you to distinguish between enemy, neutral, and friendly ships when they show up there.
Oh and welcome aboard!
