I recall reading, watching vids, that the British would be happy enough to run interference while the convoy tries to 'gain ground' so to speak. After a while the British warships would return to their convoy, lest it get too far away and come under attack by other U-boats. The American solution was a little more direct. They believed that the only way to eliminate the U-boat threat to any convoy, was to eliminate the U-boat itself. If the Yanks made contact then they would stay over you until you ran out of air and had to surface (or not). Or they would bomb you over and over until they got that tell-tale oil slick. It didn't matter how far the convoy got in the meantime. In the beginning, the US is not so hot when it comes to anti-submarine warfare, but (unfortunately for us perhaps), they get pretty good at it and in fairly short order. By March of 1943, the writing was on the wall, and it said, Death to U-boats.
