Admiral King didn't think the U-Boats were a threat, and the US Nave really didn't get serious about ASWF until 1943,
I don't think there was much in the way of mine fields and/or nets on the US coasts. The cities remained lighted (?lit), outlining the ships for attack by the subs. Air support for the Navy and Coast Guard remained a very low priority and hunter-killer groups non existent.
The US Navy refused to listen the the British about the U-Boat threat and ignored their experience and tactics (until about 1943).
Admiral Kimmel was unfairly blamed for Pearl Harbor, but Admiral King's failures were magnitudes greater and he was considered a war hero.
Anyway, the US Coasts were mainly unprotected.

All of it true and accurate but open up the Campaign_SCR in GWX3.0 mission editor and a different picture regarding minefields and anti sub nets emerges

For relevant info.

You can filter by year what is displayed in the editor, too, to see how those minefields grow over the years. The Grey Wolves made the coasts of England a very frightening place by '43 or so.

@Vendor
If you'd care to name me a port on the US east coast and a date I'll post it up for you if you want.

Yes, unprotected, but you really can't blame King. For a really good support argument, Clay Blair goes on on pretty much a 5 page rant supporting King. It actually makes sense, which is the cool part.

I'm intrigued by what appears to be a mounting picture of GWX being quite different from historical reality -- I guess I was under the mistaken impression that it was a close simulation... As a new player, are my assumptions about how close GWX is to WWII way off base?

It is a fine line trying to form a balance between historical accuracy, realism and gameplay immersion.

One area we believed was seriously unhistorical was the games inability to prevent harbour raiding anywhere the individual chose.

To this end we put nets and mines, not so much as to make them impossible to enter but to at least make the effort more challenging with a leaning toward what was more historically accurate (certainly in most ports).
