What is the name of the first submarine in World War 1?
Diesel-Electric submarines had been in use for years before WWI; there were many commissioned boats on both sides of the war before it even started, so there is no one particular submarine used in WWI. However, the one boat that arguably had the most impact at the beginning of WWI was the German submarine U-20, which was responsible for sinking the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania. This single submarine attack had repercussions throughout the war, causing policy shifts in Germany considering submarine warfare, and which affected submarine warfare in general forever.

Could German submarines reload torpedoes?
Yes - though most had manual reload capability, the German Type XXI U-Boat, which never saw active service, was the first true submarine with hydraulic reload capability. It was also the first true submersible, featuring a streamlined hull, no deck guns, and designed for running submerged as normal operation rather than just for attack purposes. Many of her features were the forerunners for today's modern submarine systems and design. Her sail is reminiscent of Russian submarine sail design.
