Looks good. Based on a CS Forrester story. Not too many films about the Battle of the Atlantic.

Where to look. There were convoys all over the place, not just the Atlantic (of course the start they were limited but production ramped up over time). They had Brazilian convoys attacked, there were attacks in the Indian ocean, South Africa/coast of Africa and the Med. Italian boats also took part don't forget.

Fortunate that they did not start the war with many, and were hobbled making the later XXI
Cool site. Cheers.

On this day in 1940 there were only 10 U boats at sea. On a random date in 1944 there were well over 60 at sea at a time.
