About Type VIIC
The Type VIIC was the backbone of the German U-boat force during World War II, with 568 commissioned between 1940 and 1945. Known for its versatility and range of 8,500 nautical miles, it was an effective fighting machine. However, its deck gun was only useful against unarmed and isolated merchant ships and was removed in most ships by 1943 to enhance underwater speed.
