You can attempt to deny this with silly hammer comparisons but others will continue to call it what it really was, a nazi sub.

Military units are always defined by what country they belong to. What nationality the machine or soldier belongs to. There was never a country called "Nazi", or "Naziland". Those subs were German, and they have always been German. Nazis might have ordered "most" of them built, but some were not ordered built by Nazis. The nazis you are talking about are German. They are all German. The Nazi Government was German. It is all German. That sub was controlled by Nazis, for the most part, but it was a German sub. Nazi is not a nationality. A Nazi government is a government that is national socialist, it does not necessarily mean that it is the German national socialist government called the Third Reich.

There may be more Nazi governments in the future (hopefully not). But to say that the sub is Nazi is simply incorrect. The sub belonged to Germany, which happened to be controlled by Nazis.
