The U-boat of Allied Powers

 

When the World War 1 began, British had many U-boats then other countries. However, most of them were so small that they couldn't use in major fight. British navy had 8 "D" size of U-boat. They also had several "E" size of U- boat. "E" size of U-boat can be used in real operation but the leading members of government didn't believe the value of using the U-boat. So Biritish's U-boat didn't be used lot at the begining of the war. Compared with German and other countries, British's U-boat wasn't very powerful. They usually used to attack the sailing boat which transported supplies to German and other countries. Because another countries had navy as powerful as British and it led the leading members of government didn't believe the British's U-boat. However, British achieved the great job when fought with Osman Truk Empire, one of the alliance of German, at the Baltic Sea.
