ALLIED MERCHANT SHIPPING LOSSES IN THE TWO WARS

The principal differences in merchant ship losses caused by U-boats in the first and second World Wars were the difference in the rate of losses and the difference in the average size of ships sunk.

In the first World War losses averaged nearly 95 merchant ships per month compared with 41 per month in the second World War. The average tonnage sunk per month in both wars, however,

In the second World War The difference in the rates of loss covering a period of 68 months, is all the more remarkable, as in the 2,775 merchant vessels, totalling second World War U-bonts had a for greater operational range and most 14,573,000 gross tons, were from the outset were able to uso sunk, and in the first World bases and facilities which placed War covering a period of 51 them in a favourable position to at

Also from June, 1940, had a partner in Europe, who came in to her assistance with more than 100 U-boats, while, until December 1941, Britain was left practically alone to face the onslaught.

In the War of 1014-18, it was Ger- many (except for Austria-Hungary, whose naval strength was negligible) who was alone with the naval forces of practically the whole World against her, yet in 1914-18 her U-boats were able to sink merchant ships t noro thun double the monthly rate achieved in 1030-45.
