Allied Warships
Check out our new extensive section on all the Allied Warships during WWII in all theatres of the war.Over 11.300 ships
uboat.net is an apolitical site - our focus was primarily the U-boat War 1939-1945 - but has since expanded to WWI and allied naval vessels of WWII.

WWI sections opened from Conning Tower
I've opened the remaining World War One major sections from the Conning Tower to the main site. These are The Commanders (470 officers) and Allied ships hit by U-boats (over 6600 ships). At the same time I created a new page called Most successful U-boat Commanders of WWI. As usual during this work I improved the newly opened pages in several places. WWI U-boat pages now link to U-boat officers for example. This almost completed our work of fully opening the Conning Tower (more information).

Two new interactive maps added
I've ported the last two Conning Tower maps over to the main site. They can be found on the main maps section. The maps in question are Ships attacked by U-boats (3184 positions and Ships attacked by U-boats during WWI (2372 positions).

Back at the helm
I've been busy with my 4 final exams at school but now they are over and the summer should be more productive than the last few weeks. Will now continue our work on moving the Conning Tower material to the main site (more info). I've not been completely idle as I've added loads of ranks and decorations to the U-boat Commander section which grows by the day.
