U134E

U134E is a designation used in the context of the United States Navy's hull classification system. It refers to a class of submarines, specifically the U-134 class, which was a series of diesel-electric submarines built during World War II. The U-134 class was designed to be a smaller and more maneuverable version of the larger U-boats used by the German Navy. These submarines were equipped with a single diesel engine for surface travel and an electric motor for underwater propulsion. They were armed with torpedoes and had a crew of around 30-35 personnel. The U-134 class submarines played a significant role in the Pacific Theater during World War II, contributing to the Allied efforts to disrupt Japanese supply lines and communications. Despite their smaller size, these submarines were effective in their missions and helped to turn the tide of the war in the Pacific. The U-134 class is often remembered for its contributions to the naval history of World War II and its impact on the outcome of the war.
