The \u003cstrong\u003eType VII U-boat\u003c\/strong\u003e was all of it — the most produced submarine class in history, the weapon that nearly strangled Britain's Atlantic lifeline, and the vessel that asked more of its crews than almost any other in the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOver \u003cstrong\u003e700 Type VIIs\u003c\/strong\u003e were built. They hunted in wolfpacks across the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Arctic convoy routes, and the American coastline. In the early years, they were devastating — sinking Allied merchant tonnage faster than the shipyards could replace it.
