I think there’s some confusion here - these smuggling craft are really more u-boats than submarines. They aren’t really comparable.

They aren't comparable to U-boats either. U-boats could sail over 100km submerged and dive to hundreds of meters depth. These can't do either of those. These are just fancy "stealthy" boats.

U-boat is a synonym for submarine (literally - "undersea boat").
