Design

Type U 87 submarines were preceded by the shorter Type U 81 submarines. U-88 had a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert". when at the surface and Script error: No such module "convert". while submerged.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". She had a total length of Script error: No such module "convert"., a pressure hull length of Script error: No such module "convert"., a beam of Script error: No such module "convert"., a height of Script error: No such module "convert"., and a draught of Script error: No such module "convert".. The submarine was powered by two Script error: No such module "convert". engines for use while surfaced, and two Script error: No such module "convert". engines for use while submerged. She had two propeller shafts. She was capable of operating at depths of up to Script error: No such module "convert"..Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Script error: No such module "convert". and a maximum submerged speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". When submerged, she could operate for Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert".; when surfaced, she could travel Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert".. U-88 was fitted with four Script error: No such module "convert". torpedo tubes (two at the bow and two at the stern), ten to twelve torpedoes, one Script error: No such module "convert".
