The pace of rearmament accelerated under <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a>, and the first Type II U-boat was laid down on 11 February 1935.

However, it had a shallower maximum depth, short range, cramped living conditions, and carried fewer <a href="/wiki/Torpedo" title="Torpedo">torpedoes</a>. </p><p>The boat had a single hull, with no watertight compartments. There were three torpedo tubes, all forward, with space for two spare torpedoes inside the pressure hull. Although the boats technically had a deck gun, it was a 20mm weapon best used for defense against aircraft. </p><p>Space inside was limited. The two spare torpedoes extended from just behind the torpedo tubes to just in front of the control room, and most of the 24-man crew lived in this forward area around the torpedoes, sharing 12 bunks. Four bunks were also provided aft of the engines for the engine room crew. Cooking and sanitary facilities were basic, and in this environment long patrols were very arduous. </p><p>Most Type IIs only saw operational service during the early years of the war, thereafter remaining in training bases.
