| The American Submarines were larger and better designed. The American subs were designed for long patrols in the Pacific and had air conditioners and a primitive fire control system and the only thing that let them down for years were their torpedo's. The German submarine had been based on earlier designs and were for much shorter journeys into the Atlantic. Also on the German subs the crew conditions were far worse than the American subs. Later German designs where greatly improved but by then it was to late to have any affect on the war.
