  2.  @randomthings7898  the simple fact is that Subs are faster at least on the surface. A type IX U-Boat can do about 18 to say 20 knots. A liberty ship can only max out about 11 nautical miles per hour. These ships are traveling in Convoy. So you're basically traveling at the speed of the slowest vessels. Plus in rough weather oh, it's hard to maintain high speed. Also the submarines are working in ambush. They are located in Patrol Zones along the line of travel trying to intercept. Attacking at night on the surface. They'll be hard to spot.
