The U-Boat naturally, because its smaller which means when it submerges there is a smaller hole in the water and the overall area of force exerted on a U-Boat is smaller than that of the US sub.

Is that right? The pressure per square inch will be the same, but I don't know enough about it to know if the size makes a difference overall. Just asking.
@ mcf1: That's a good discussion. I wish he had quoted a source for his numbers, but he seems to know what he's talking about.
@ NealT: It does make sense. Unfortunately there is no real evidence one way or the other. I've done a lot of research over the years, and the things they never seem to mention can make you pull your hair out.
