The only Tarpon I've heard of was a US sub 1942.
It might have been from one of these classes listed here but it doesn't carry the individual names just the class and numbers built.

I never came across a german Submarine class called "Tarpun" in any book. Seems to me that it is a fantasy sub - honestly i didn't even heard of that fish before ...
