<HTML>Early in the war they soon learned that in order to pursue one U-boat they need at least three sub-chasers. The German bi-dimensional homing torpedo was easily derouted. On the other side, the Allied\'s three-dimensional FIDO homing torpedo was quite effective.
Sometimes I wondered if TWO U-boats ever fought a mutually defensive counter-attack against sub-chasers.
