Prior and during the World War II, Germany was one of the world's leading nations in the area of submarine technology. Their submarines were named "U-Boats", the term deriving from the German Navy's system of naming its submarines with U- followed by a number, where the "U" stood for Unterseeboot (literally, "undersea boat"), the German word for submarine.
