For WW1/WW2 I identify German subs as Uboats, mainly because in all the books I have read about them they are referred as U99, U505 etc...

For WW1/WW2 I identify British Submarines as ... Submarines. This is because in all the books I have read they are referred to by name as for example the Submarine Sea Tiger etc (Good O'l John MIlls)

As for modern German boats... I have not really thought about it as I have not read much about them.

Cheers

thanks for the info, guys.
For those who don't know: post-war German subs follow the same naming scheme as before, starting with U1, and we still call them U-Boote - though this word is used for submarines from all nations.

The rumour however, that it's forbidden to play Yahtzee on them, is not true.

I should hope so. Unter=under=beneath or sub. Zee=sea=ocean=marine.

Unterzee boot=Submarine boat...exactly.

There is no Zee in German. It's See. Unterseeboot.

Well to be fair, that's where most of them ended up.

Is it too late to plead "Not my native language"?

Yes?

I was afraid that might be the case.

Wait! I know! Blame the Dutch!
