In reference to there being spies aboard American ships that were put there by the Americans themselves to report back on operational security and such, I kinda doubt that happened before WW2. However, after about 1944 I could see something like that happening BUT it would be more of an internal Navy thing. And the sailor reporting would probably have specific people that he would be gathering info about and it would probably have to do with questions like "Should we promote this person to this higher position type of thing." And/or if you're talking about spies that would report things to people from other countries about things that go on aboard ship. Well, I'm sure that there are people that can be bought no matter what day & age it is. But ask the wrong person that can't be bought then they might have a problem. And then you could also ask the wrong person & that person be smart enough to go to one of his higher ups and work as a double agent & feed that person wrong information. I think once it got close to the end of the war the US Gov't got extra paranoid and that is how the cold war got started. For some reason that made me think of the assassination of Kennedy. I've never believed he was shot because of the Cold War. He was shot because of his support of desegregation imho. And it made some very, very rich white people mad. Very sad too. Cuz he was a good strong President & I'm sure he would have won a second term too.😢 I'm also of the opinion that the way "they" claim that General George Patton died is bs. He was of the opinion that we should keep the war going but against the Soviets. Or at least keep our Army in place & pressure Stalin into letting the Polish people have their country back with its pre-WW2 boarders. Considering that Stalin making the agreement with Hitler to split Poland in half & Russia getting half & Germany getting half is how the war got started in the first place. And also considering that one of the main reasons Russia prevailed against the German's was because of convoys & convoys of ships bringing Russia supplies from the USA. Patton had a good reason to believe that any war against Russia at the time that the west would prevail. But once the majority of our troops were sent home we wouldn't be in any kind of position to threaten or make an ultimatum. The death of Franklin D Roosevelt kind of screwed up the end of the war in Europe as well. And because Patton was so vocal about the mess Truman or someone had him killed to shut him up. And considering that US Army was everywhere no one would really question an accident or whatever. After living through the whole war dang close to the front lines the whole time, I can't help but believe that his death was NOT an "accident!" It was deliberate.
