Didn't know that.

Actually I dont know if WWII subs had them or not. Would make sense though to protect capitol investments.

The WWI escorts were so that sub captains wouldent blunder into nets / mines.

Actually it was Rubini's original 'Harbour Traffic Mod', done to go with Beery's 'Real U-Boat', that gave us escorts; long before the first GW.

Kind of glad we dont have them since I cant go above 4x TC when near a ship. Yeah, sneak into Osaka harbor at 1 kt an hour at 4x TC because a merchant is beside you and see how fun that is.

In a book I read called "Pride runs Deep" (Not based on real boat) the Sub it was based around had escorts out of base... dunno if real boats did.
