Mmmmm ! The neurality Patrol of the USN in 1940/41 was a little one sided - Thank goodness. I have in my wardrobe not 6 feet from this computer an old US Coastgaurd jacket, given to my grandfather as dry clothing when he was picked up off a liferaft in the North Atlantic in 1941 by Patroling US vessels.

Anyway heres a blicky that will lead into the "USS Reuben James" U552 and Erich Topp
