How big is the crew of a U-boat?

Answer:
German subs were smaller than US submarines, being about 220 feet long, with a complement of about 45 crewmen; while the US Gato class sub was 311 feet long with about 75 officers and men.

US subs were larger because of the nature of the Pacific War; German subs were smaller due to the nature of fighting in the Atlantic.
