Prototype Information: U-Boat (Unterseeboot) Type VIIB
  The Type VII U-Boats, under the command of Admiral Doenitz, were the
  principle German weapons in the Battle of the Atlantic. In this battle,
  Germany hoped to cut off the convoy supply lines to Great Britain and force
  the British to sue for peace. The U-Boats caused great havoc to the Atlantic
  convoys during the early years of WWII but by the end of 1943 they were
  outnumbered and outgunned. The Type VIIB U-99 was commanded by Kapitan
  Kretschmer and sank 44 ships before being sunk herself by the British
  destroyer "Walker". Most of the crew were taken prisoner.
