Larger than the numerically superior Type VII subs, the XIA and XIB Types had greater range, were faster and carried a larger crew. They were also slower in diving and were regarded as a "wetter" boat, thus gaining the nickname "Seekuh" which translates to Sea Cow. Nevertheless, the Type XIB subs accounted for the sinking of a greater tonnage per boat than any other type of German sub in World War II.
