Hi!
Not necessarily. The Germans modified one of their Type II U-boats in the Black Sea to carry short-range artillery rockets for shore bombardment of Soviet rear-area facilities, and were thinking hard about how to use U-boats to tow a V-2 guided missile launch platform close enough to the U.S. to bombard the east coast of the U.S.
