British submarines fought a deadly battle with their German counterparts during World War Two. The British submarines succeeded in sinking 12 German U-boats, for the loss of 4 of their own (P-615, Spearfish, Thristle and Doris) to U-boats. Doris was a French submarine on loan and under British command. The submarine Seal was captured in early 1940 and renamed UB by the Germans.
