In this war the Navy will not be caught, as it was after World War I, with claims far outstripping German records of U-boat losses when a post-war check comes.

But in the western Atlantic, along the approaches to the U.S., there are only occasional marauders where once there were scores, for men of the Angry and countless other escort ships have done their job well.
