Type I U-boat

The Type I U-boat was a 1936 attempt by the Kriegsmarine to produce an oceangoing U-boat. Only two were produced (U-25[?] and U-26[?]), having been found to have poor stability, slow dive rate, poor maneuverability under water, and mechanical unreliability. Both examples had been sunk by 1940.
