<h2> The Effect of the U-boat during world war II</h2><h2 />
The use of U-boat by the Germans during World war 2 had one of the worst devastating effects on America and the West.
Although The U.S. Navy initially lied to the public about the terrifying effects of the German U-boat attacks, the government had to pressure the news media to censor the information they were circulating.
This was effective covering the military's incompetence in protecting shipping and the lives of merchant seamen.
Hoever to counter the U-boat, Allied merchant ships sailed in groups or close proximity and these groups were called convoys. These convoys were escorted by warships.
The system of convoys were difficult for U-Boats to find and attack, but the U-Boats still posed a significant threat.
Slowly but surely, these patrols by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard were helpful which when combined by planes of the Army Air Corps, showed improvements in preventing the U-boat attacks.
