In WW1 they had designed the U-151 but only 2 out of 7 were completed as cargo: Deutschland and Bremen. They had a cargo capacity of 700 tons and would have been used between USA and Germany.
In WW2 they designed the type XIV (10 units) that had a cargo capacity of 430 tons+torpedo supply. All were lost to air attacks.
For my part I had the barrikada converted to a cargo sub (my players failed that one). This Typhoon was brought back to Russia, it was stripped of the three remaining missiles (placed on trains) and converted to a cargo/special mission sub.

If i remember right, the cargo subs during WW2 where called 'milkcows' by the Germans
