For WW1/WW2 I identify German subs as Uboats, mainly because in all the books I have read about them they are referred as U99, U505 etc...

For WW1/WW2 I identify British Submarines as ... Submarines. This is because in all the books I have read they are referred to by name as for example the Submarine Sea Tiger etc (Good O'l John MIlls) :arrgh!:

As for modern German boats... I have not really thought about it as I have not read much about them.

Cheers

thanks for the info, guys.
For those who don't know: post-war German subs follow the same naming scheme as before, starting with U1, and we still call them U-Boote - though this word is used for submarines from all nations.

The rumour however, that it's forbidden to play Yahtzee on them, is not true. :03:

Yes?

I was afraid that might be the case. :oops:
