Well, I spent 20 minutes researching and typing a long post explaining what was just said above, including links to both u-boat sources and US sources (US boats had the diesels connected directly to generators, which provided electricity to either run the motors or to charge the batteries) only to find that I had been logged off by the system and the whole thing was lost.

Sometimes I hate this server.

Anyway, the US stuff is all here.
