O.A Fisher's bio
Of Germany
There were different sized U-boats so the dimensions varied. There is a website that has the dimensions of all U-boats from the very first commissioned one prior to WW1 to today. The link to the site is at the bottom. The page has photos, stats on all the boats and commanders and more. But... here is the dimensions of a WW1 U-boat type U1 commissioned around 1906 Displacement: (in tons) 238 (surface or sf) 283 (submerged or sm) (total) Length: (m) 42,39 oa (oa = overall) 32,50 (pH) pH is pressure on the hull Beam: (m) 3,75 oa 2,80 pH Draught: (draft) 3,17 m (metres) Height: 6,35 m Power: (hp) 400 (sf) 400 (sm) Speed: (knots) 10,8 (sf) 8,7 (sm) Range: (miles / knots) 1500/10 (sf) 50/5 (sm) Torpedoes: 3 1/0 (bow / stern tubes) Mines: No mines carried Deck gun: No deck gun Crew: 22 men Max depth: ca. 30 m (98 feet) Compare that to a WW2 U-boat commissioned in 1939 type VIIC Displacement: (tons)769 (sf) 871 (sm) 1070 (total) Length: (m) 67,10 oa 50,50 pH Beam: (m) 6,20 oa 4,70 pH Draught: (draft) 4,74 m Height: 9,60 m Power: (hp) 3200 (sf) 750 (sm) Speed (knots) 17,7 (sf) 7,6 (sm) Range: (miles / knots) 8500/10 (sf) 80/4 (sm) Torpedoes: 14 4/1 (bow / stern tubes) Mines: 26 TMA Deck gun: 88/45 220 rounds Crew: 44-52 men Max depth: ca. 220 m (722 feet)

Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is a waterfall located in southern Africa on the Zambezi River. It is also called Victoria Falls, in honor of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
I don't believe there is a Swahili name for the Falls. The local name , Mosi-oa-Tunya is from Shona or Bemba. Swahili is from the area about 1,000 miles north east of the Victoria Falls area.
Another name for "the Smoke that Thunders" is Victoria Falls, a waterfall at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Native Africans call this natural wonder of the world "mosi oa Tunya" (the smoke that thunders) in the Kololo language.
