Right? I always think of submarines as small and cramped, and while they are certainly cramped, they're not generally small. Lot of machinery goes into those beasts.

I might be misremembering, but I thought U-boats were known for speed and maneuverability. So I thought they'd be smaller for sure.

Not really that U-boat had a surface speed of 14kn and a submerged speed of 7km. Think of them more of ambush than quick strike.

That makes sense! Thanks for clarifying that.
