Thanks. Yes. There were a lot of small unit actions which took place where ships were sunk and people got killed. This again show German Strategic Stupidity. If they had no invaded Russia but gone after the Med instead - and were only at war with Britain - they could have had a lot better results getting materials from abroad. I was aware of their use of Blockade Runners but hadn't heard of any of the engagements. As for the Americans - pre-war hey had practiced Daylight Gunnery - and the Japanese practiced Night Actions. With Aircraft precluding most daylight surface engagements the Japanese were at an advantage. .
