Slightly incorrect. The Royal Navy made a habit of this, from the armed trawler from which they stole the enigma machine, to the U110 also boarded and codes etc removed. Boarding enemy ships was a fairly regular occurrence to us Brits!! Unless of course, your refering to the American Navy.
U 534 here are some images of the inside of the U Boats. See page 2 (and scroll down)
