У 201 Зеєхунд «тюлень»), також відомий як Тип XXVII, був підводним човном-ліліпутом, виробленим нацистською Німеччиною під час Другої світової війни. Розроблений в 1944 році і експлуатувався екіпажами з двох чоловік, він використовувався Крігсмаріне (ВМС Німеччини) в останні місяці війни, потопивши дев'ять торгових суден і пошкодивши ще три, втративши при цьому 35 човнів, в основному через погану погоду. ВМС Франції використовували три трофейні катери після війни до 1953 року.

Seehund is a German word that means seal in English. A seal is a type of marine mammal that lives partly on land and partly in the sea. There are many different species of seals, such as the harbor seal, the elephant seal, and the leopard seal. Seals have a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm in cold water, and they can dive deep and hold their breath for a long time. Seals are often hunted by humans for their fur, meat, and oil, but some species are protected by law. Seals are also known for their intelligence and curiosity, and they sometimes interact with divers and fishermen.
Seehund is also the name of a midget submarine built by Nazi Germany during World War II. It was designed to carry two crew members and two torpedoes. It was used for coastal attacks and reconnaissance missions, but it had many technical problems and was not very effective. Only 285 Seehund submarines were built, and many of them were sunk or captured by Allied forces.
