The Patrol Zone

The following joint Anglo-American statement on submarine and antisubmarine operations is issued under the authority of the President and the Prime Minister:

“During the month of February a moderate number of Allied merchant vessels fell victim to U-boat activity. However, the anti-submarine forces were successful in destroying more enemy submarines this past month than in January.

“Despite satisfactory results now being obtained in the war on undersea raiders, our forces must maintain unceasing vigilance because any enemy with a large number of submarines always possesses a potential threat.”
