Elektroboot  Type XXIII U-boat

 "Elektroboot" series, the Type XXI U-boat and a short range Type XXIII U-boat, finalized in January 1943
 but with production only commencing in 1944-1945. 
When under water, the Type XXI managed to run at 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph), which was faster than a 
Type VII running full out on the surface and almost as fast as the ships attacking her. 
After the war, tests carried out by the United States Navy on two captured Type XXIs showed they could outrun 
some ASW ships by going in the direction of heavy seas. 
(The US Navy's first nuclear-powered submarine, USS Nautilus (SSN-571), used a modified Type XXI hull shape.) 
For most of the trip it ran silently underwater on batteries, surfacing only at night, and then only to snorkel depth.
 Weapons were likewise upgraded, with automated systems allowing the torpedo tubes to be reloaded in less than
 one-fourth of the time, firing homing torpedoes that would attack on their own. 
Even the interior was improved: it was much larger and fitted with showers and a meat refrigerator for long patrols.

German Type XXIII submarines were the first so-called elektroboats to become operational. 
They were small coastal submarines designed to operate in the shallow waters of the North Sea, Black Sea and 
Mediterranean Sea, where larger Type XXI Elektro boats were at risk in World War II. 
They were so small they could carry only two torpedoes, which had to be loaded externally.
 As with their far larger sisters—the Type XXI—they were able to remain submerged almost all of the time and were
 faster than conventional U-boats, due to the improved streamlining of their shape, batteries with larger capacity and 
the snorkel, which allowed the diesel engines to be used while submerged. 
The Type XXI and XXIII U-boats revolutionized post-war submarine design.
 Nearly a thousand Type XXIII boats were projected towards the close of World War II, but most of these were either
 cancelled, scrapped incomplete or only projected
