You may not realize this, but U-boats were German submarines during WWII. One of them sank the Lusitania, a non-military target, killing 1,198 civilians (and helped sway US public opinion to join the war), so 'u-boat' might not be the best name for a whimsical cartoon.

It still carries some negative connotations in English.

Maybe you could call it "Submariners"

Just a minor correction U-boats were used both in WWI and WWII, the Lusitania sinking occurred during WWI.
