Might sink, mightn't it? And then where would you be?

Probably underwater, I think I understand sinking.

German subs were the gold standard of subs at the time.
Highly recommend watching "Das Boot"

This submarine was a lot more advanced then the one shown in Das Boot.
It kinda was the first class of underwater ships, and not just a ship which could hide underwater, and move slowly.
It also inspired the next generation of U.S.Submarines.

Isn’t that kind of the idea behind a submarine?
