<HTML>Hi,
Yes, that\'s right, it is \"Das Schiff\" (ship) or \"Das Unterseeboot\" (U-Boat).
But, when just refering to the number (as a name for the U-Boat) you say \"Die U47\" or \"Die 47\". Also, when talking about any other shipname you say \"Die Wilhelm Gustloff\" or \"Die Titanic\".
I know, German language is confusing
greetings from Switzerland
