Was the Med really a waste??

[Salvadoreno]

After doing a bit of research and getting some good info, i believe that if the med was commited to faster, Rommel and his Afrika Corp might have been saved. With more effort from the Italians to open ports and workup facilities even a small commitment of uboats could have done some considerable damaged in mid 1940s. Just look what happened when the uboats were sent to the med, it was always seen as a "diversion"of boats but in a matter of a few weeks, a battleship and important carrier were sunk. Of course a few uboatts were lost in the crossing of gibratlar, for the most part the boats made it safely. The North Atlantic at the time was a losing battle, coastal command and escorts were growing stronger and stronger and wolfpacks werent doing near as much damage as in the previous years.
Still with the 20 or so uboats in the med there was still enough in the North Atlantic to wage a decent war at sea. Plus with an earlier commitment of uboats in the med, churchill and king and the rest of the naval officers would have had to reorganize their strategies for escorts/commitment of warships/and allocation of resources. Eventually i believe the war in the med would have been lost, but it would hve taken some time along with resources from the "vital" North Atlantic run. Britian would have been strecthed BEYOND their limits with an earlier commitment of med boats. THe type IX in the south atlantic, the VIICs in the North Atlantic, the Ducks in the CHannels, and UBoats in the Med.
Im talking mid to late 1940s when there was enough uboats for this task. An allocation of 2-3 IXs in the South Atlanic, the 10-20 boats in the Noth Atlantic, the Ducks in the North Channel, the artic was absolutely useless and i believe a BIG waste of uboats-so none in the artic, and just a few uboats in the med, like 9-10. All together thats about 43 uboats casuing hell in all theatres. I believe that was about the # of combat ready uboats at the time. Specialy in the late 1940s.
I posted this because i was sick and tired of hearing every1 saying how uselss and worthless the Med War was. It ACHIEVED some GREAT results in the opening phase. Ark Royal the carrier in the med was destroyed, resulting in another group tasked to the Med just because the presence of uboots. More destroyers for escort in the mid 1940s late 1940s would take resources britian DIDNT have. Somewhere there would be a hole in the defense, wether in the NOrth Atlantic of Med, without the escorts uboots would cause utter havoc, as seen earlier in the war. Wutcha think??
