Maybe a surface attack then followed by the arrival of planes..
on this screen we can appreciate these 2 models types IX long range of action...
observe the anatomy of the hull on the left one a model "schnell tauschen" admire me this work ... this fantastic structure for the time the one on the right being a "dairy cow" a supply submarine as well as a minelayer ...
when I see the American boats it's scary... they look pale and are clearly inferior in all... it's a shame that all this technology has been stolen...
the French are so sour that you don't even have a building to visit on the bunkers or your disappointment... this screen comes from Portsmouth, New Hampshire during the 1946 war to study them so much theirs was miserable..

Bit of a stretch to say the American boats were inferior in all. In some aspects, they were vastly superior.
The German boats were scarcely improved WW1 versions. Heck, the IX's were withdrawn from convoy duty early in the war because they dived to slow, cumbersome, etc. vs the VIIs.
And of course, two completely different types of campaigns between the Pacific and Atlantic.
