But even then they're not something you should mess with. Small, fast, hard to hit and pretty deadly in return. Also, u-boats and MTBs didn't usually operate in the same waters. You shouldn't see any unless in coastal waters or the Channel.

Conversely the same can't be said of German E-boats and British submarines.....my late father used to often remind me of the times he saw them trading punches off the Dogger Bank as the Brtitish Submarines were returning to their eastern shoreline bases.
