RE: Uboats & names

<HTML>Hi Saskia,

U-boats didnt have names like surface warships, but they did have names of a town etc. that adopted a U-boat. eg \"Ulm\". A similar thing happened in the UK whereby the local population donated money to help pay towards the cost of the warship or for some comforts for the crew.
Hope this helps..
Regards
