  1. Particularly effective because Japan didn't have the escorts to protect even its troop vessels and tankers from subs let alone other effort.... Britain in 39 40 absolutely spewed small escort vessels and sweep rigged ships from its ports to reduce vulnerability as much as possible.. the reason we built so little (against capacity) during the war was because we fought an all aspect war with massive numbers of personnel equipping these assets instead of flashy larger vessels.. BTW the air campaign against Germans turned every part into a front line and tied down 100s of thousands of troops and workers plus copious ordnance that would have only gone to war effort elsewhere so for that alone it was justified..
