Answer 6

Actually, U-boats weren't new either. A crude submarine was tried during the American Revolution, and the C.S.S. Hunley was a Confederate submarine that actually managed to sink a northern ship. However, you can argue none of these were true submarines, since they weren't capable of extended underwater operations. They travelled on the surface until they came close to the target and barely went under water to sneak up on the target.

Answer 7

Artillery. The others were all new.
