Umm, no they weren't. Even in the manual, it says that U-boots historically carried 220 HE rounds only. No sense in bringing star shells in a a submarine, or AP rounds. When would you ever use them?

i read that a 8.8cm deck gun can alternatively fire armour piercing rounds or star shells.

You are correct....they could, but in RL it is doubtful whether they ever did and as yet nobody has posted a link to a definitive source.

A link to your source would be helpful.

Where does it say that star shells and AP rounds were issued? The fact is, just because you can use a certain type of ammunition, doesn't mean you should. Say you're hunting birds, you wouldn't use Deer Slug would you?

well then why did they make the gun compatiable to them??

The U-Boot deckguns (8.8 and 10.5 cm) were modified guns, developed pre-WWI for surface units to defend against torpedo-boats.

They were capable to use the HE as the AP and SS shells. Well, for a U-Boot there was no use for AP and SS ammunition, but the gun could have shot them.

Some misunderstanding may be caused in translation of "can/could". :D
