> But, surface ships of that time was even more limited, many could not achieve even half of surface speed of u-boat, so become easy prey. Agree with most of what you said, but U-boats generally had top surface speeds under 20 knots and were thus slower on the surface than most naval vessels of the time. They could certainly move faster than most convoys, but they couldn’t outrun pursuing destroyers or corvettes. |

That is point. I'm not agree about most, but will be agree if you say about many.

But problem was, navy have so huge deficit of ships, so some convoys was run without naval support.
Sure, if all convoys was supported with fastest ships with best commands, u-boats will be no problem anymore, and as I understand, once this was happen.
