There used to be one. More than one, actually. The problem is that so many conflicting mods fall into the 'Must Have' category that you can have several absolutely necessary can't-live-without-them mods that conflict with each other.

The supermods are a great example. People who use GWX will tell you that it's the absolute best. People who use WAC and LSH3 will also tell you that those are the absolute best. And they are all correct.

Is this the correct procedure? Can the 1.4b patch be installed on top the 1.0 game or are intermediate patches required?

The 1.4b patch is the only one required. It contains the contents of all previous patches.

Is your game a new copy? If so, it's probably already patched.

What happened to the "Real U-Boat" mod - did it morph into GWX 3.0?

No, it morphed into NYGM (Not Your Grandmother's Mod).

PS. I did search, but I found a lot of threads with somewhat contradictory information.

That falls in line with my first comment. There really is a lot of contradictory information, and sometimes it's all true.
