It's a group of players who "reenact" the entire WWII u-boot campaign using SH3 and NYGM 2.2 or GW 1.1a/GWX. When you join you're assigned to the training flotilla and need to do a single mission in a IIA/IID boat. After submitting your report about how it went you'll be assigned to a currently active flotilla and begin running campaign based patrols for that flotilla.
Every 3 weeks real time represents 3 months of War time. So right now we're on Patrol 11, March/April/May of 1942 and that'll last till November 20th. It's starting to get dangerous out there! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Basically it's a roleplaying community which tries to experience the u-boot war as realisticly as possible. Each player uses either a real captain's name, or a similar sounding one. For each patrol we do we submit a KTB similar to how real captains did. During the patrol you'll also post messages to the message boards in the form of radio messages your real captain would have, status reports, contact reports, permission to fire on a special target that kind of thing. The captains also often keep detailed daily logs of things that have happened.
Here's an example of my latest patrol report:
Daily Log:

05:10 BE26 Seems the decoy works well, lots of wabo
behind us.
05:13 BE26 Near misses from wabo, we must still be too shallow, dropping to 180m.
06:27 BE26 After more than an hour at 245m sonar reports escorts moving away. Surfaced and continued onward to patrol grid.
