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. |
Size has nothing to do with the pressure found at a depth. You put a Gato or a Type VII at 300 feet, they face the same pressure.
