When World War I erupted in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson pledged neutrality for the United States, a position that the vast majority of Americans favored. At the start of the war, Germany had 48 submarines of 13 classes in service or under construction. The U-boat was the Germans’ most formidable naval weapon, a military submarine far more sophisticated than those built by other nations at the time. The typical U-boat was 214 feet long, carried 35 men and 12 torpedoes, and could travel underwater for two hours at a time. https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Sepehr/...
