If we are talking what ifs I'd say that if a campaign had of started on the west coast Admiral King with his Anglophobia would have been fired and someone with sense would have taken over and convoys would have been implemented earlier. Also we weren't supplying another country off the west coast so pickings would have been very slim. Also again logistics would have to be taken into account.
