INTRODUCTION
Sometime in the spring of 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the U.S. Navy to patrol shipping lanes to Europe. By July, U.S. warships were convoying for protection against German U-Boats, and by September were attacking German submarines when necessary (see the book below by Michael Gannon for more information). In November, the Neutrality Act was partly repealed to allow continuing U.S. military aid to Britain.
