Wouldn't U-691 be a better title of this page? "Unterseeboot" is German, not English and is not used very often in English at all (and we do have a pesky naming convention on the use of English words). Simply saying "U-Number" is the most common usage and I don't see any ambiguity in using that format. I just hit preview, and of course the far more common U format isn't even a redirect here. Remember, one of the central ideas of our naming conventions is to preserve easy linking so long as ambiguity issues are not a problem. I just did a quick check, and most of the links to the U-boat articles are obscured like so [[Unterseeboot 691|U-691]]. Why not just have the article live at U-691? --maveric149
