About uboat.net

On this site you will find all the German U-boats of both World Wars, their commanding officers and operations including all Allied ships attacked, technological information and much more. You can also browse our large photo gallery and thousands of U-boat books and movies. While hundreds of U-boats were lost some of the boats are preserved as museums today.

We also have a huge section covering the Allied forces and their struggle with the U-boat threat � not to mention the Pacific war. Included there are all the Allied Warships and thousands of Allied Commanding officers from all the major navies (US Navy, Royal Navy, �) plus technical pages and information on the air forces.

Site improvements
Good day. I am working on various site maintenance and future-proofing elements of the site. Spent 4 days (with breaks) on a single problem over the holidays before it finally clicked and now very few problems remain. If I do this properly you should not see much change :) I hope to finish this around the start of the new year. Then regular content work resumes at full speed.

Experimenting with twitter
I've been experimenting with Twitter and just submitted the first tweet from uboat.net. You can follow this through http://twitter.com/uboatnet or by following @uboatnet. I will test this out some more (making sure only interesting stuff goes in there - not all our minor updates). Could be helpful to some of you.
