Description
Notes: The Type I U-boat was the first post–Great Sanctus War attempt by Auf Tod-Pack's Seeflotte to produce an oceangoing submarine. Only three Type I's were built, but the decision to halt production on further boats is believed to be because of political decisions and not because of major faults in the Type I design. Although the boats did not have any major design faults, they were known to be difficult to handle due to their poor stability and slow dive rate.Class OverviewName: Type I–Class U-boat
