What were the uses of submarines by germans during world war 2?
Eventually, the Allies countered the threat and ultimately doomed the U-Boats. Organized, Escorted Supply Convoys, escorted by Navy Destroyers and Frigates that could make the Transatlantic crossing to England, proved a real problem for the U-Boats. The use of Merchant Carriers, Merchant Ships that could carry & launch 4 Recon aircraft, also helped to nullify the advantage. The addition of RADAR on Navy ships meant a U-Boat at Periscope Depth or surfaced could be detected, even at night; and the ultimate employment of long-range bombers sealed the U-Boats fate. They never again enjoyed the success they had early in the war.
