Similar areas, just different terminology. A good example being how on a Uboat, that optical device on the bridge for surface attacks is called a "UZO", while on a fleet boat, it's called a "TBT".
Agree. A real U boot was a warship not a cruise/luxury ship as were the american subs. It was intented to be like that, so the crew don't get to confortable and lazy. Another reason why the german war machine was so effective.
