There has got to be a lot of iron at the bottom of the oceans, judging from this map.

During the war the U-boats alone sank about 2,779 ships for a total of 14.1 million tons GRT. This figure is roughly 70% of all allied shipping losses in all theatres of the war and to all hostile action.

Remind me to take 1944 off in my current campaign

Seriously tho interesting to watch the merchant sinkings move across the map and back, and how similar the 39 and 45 maps are in distribution
