Wolfpack member about to disintegrate (1-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

u-boat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wolfpack member' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'about to disintegrate' is the wordplay.
'to disintegrate' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'disintegrated' mean this).
'about' is an anagram of 'U-BOAT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for u-boat that I've seen before include "German submarine of WW2" , "German World War One or World War Two submarine" , "About (anag)" , "Submersible warship armed with torpedoes" , "German WW 2 sub" .)
