Nothing "slick" about it. As this is mainly a subsim site I assumed the convoy he is asking about pertained to anti-submarine/Uboat threats. I futher assumed since the site pertains mostly to WW2 that his question was in regards to that time period. I simply stated that the convoy system was used first in WW1. I even knew the year without having to look it up. The exact date I did in fact have to do a search which in fact I noted I did so.
As for the convoy system first being used in the 1600's, could be, I don't think U boats were much of a threat at that time however.
