List of Bundeswehr submarines
This list only deals with Bundeswehr submarines. See therefore also: List of U-Boat classes by country , List of German U-Boat classes , List of German U-Boats (1906–1919) , List of German U-Boats (1935–1945) / U 1 – U 250 and List of ships of the Bundeswehr .
The Federal Republic of Germany built after 1955, the submarine weapon as part of the German Navy slowly again. Since the cost of nuclear submarines of around 1.4 billion US dollars is too high for the German budget and a maximum weight of 350 tons per submarine was initially applied, advanced conventional submarines were developed from the start. The new boats of the German Navy with fuel cells represent the technological pinnacle of conventional submarine construction. From 1962 the traditional numbering of the submarines was done again.
