<HTML>Quite a number of American submarines ran anti-u-boat patrols in the Atlantic and Caribbean. Mostly these were older boats, including a lot of R-class types that simply were not suitable for the distances needed in the Pacific. If I remember correctly, the extent of their success was credit for one u-boat initially credited as sunk, but later reduced to damaged. On the whole, the Atlantic wasn't a very good hunting ground for American subs, since the German presence was almost entirely submarines, and escorts and patrol planes are notorious for not being able to recognize their own side. In the Atlantic, at least, American aircraft are credited with (or suspected of) sinking more American subs than the Germans.
