List of U-boats of Germany - wikipedia List of U-boats of Germany Germany has commissioned over 1,500 U-boats ( German : Unterseeboot ) into its various navies from 1906 to the present day. The submarines have usually been designated with a U followed by a number, although World War I coastal submarines and coastal minelaying submarines used the UB and UC prefixes, respectively. When Germany resumed building submarines in the 1930s, the numbering of the submarines was restarted at 1. The renumbering was restarted at 1 a third time when Germany resumed building submarines in the 1960s.

Although the first four German U-boats -- U-1, U-2, U-3, and U-4 -- were commissioned before 1910, all four served in a training capacity during the war. German U-boats used during World War I were divided into three series. The U designation was generally reserved for ocean - going attack torpedo U-boats. The UB designation was used for coastal attack U-boats, while the UC designation was reserved for coastal minelaying U-boats. U-boats U-boats designed primarily for deep water service were designated with a U prefix and numbered up to 167.
