The U-99 was without doubt one of the German naval crafts that the Allies feared the most throughout most of the duration of World War II. It was commanded by Lieutenant Otto Kretschmer, who guided it whilst it sank 43 Allied vessels up to 1941. The U-99 was a type VIIB submarine and was equipped with multiple torpedoes.

There are 7 U-boats that are stationed in the 1st U-boot (U-boat) Squadron in Eckernforde.

The structure used for the construction of this submarines was non-magnetic steel, in order to counter act the magnetic sea mines deployed by the enemies of Germany. The Type 205 class submarines already have non-magnetic steel in their hulls but were of the low quality because they cracked under great pressure as the submarine dives to deeper areas. The new non-magnetic steel that was used in the Type 206 class has a greater elasticity and has good dynamic strength. This vessel has a maximum speed of 17 knots and are manned by 22 personnel.
