I'm a little confused. the reporter mentioned that this U-boat was from WWI. Didn't U-40 participate in WWII?

Good footage here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...nd/7971642.stm also a Q Ship in action - but I am confused which U-40 it really is. http://www.uboat.net/wwi/boats/index.html?boat=40 OR, http://www.uboat.net/boats/u40.htm
