Also their existing subs that were pulled for refit or what not when they returned from patrol. Anyone know the highest number of uboats operating at sea in any point in time?? Id make a guess, but i honestly don't know this figure.
Hell, even Hitler said, something like, "on land i'm a lion, at sea i'm a coward", or words to that effect.
