Here you go....


Battle of the Atlantic




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Atlantic#Growing_American_activity

Destroyer Escorts of World War II


That the Battle of the Atlantic was decisively won was due in no small measure to the arrival of specialized “destroyer escorts” (DEs) and the “hunter-killer” task forces they formed with small aircraft carriers which, in the last two years of the war, nearly eliminated the U-boat threat.




Enough for you Heeerrrooooo?

I guess you were out sick that day when that wonderful Canadian education we keep hearing about took place.

In fact, it's actually you Yanks who believe you won WWII all by yourselves, despite turning up late as usual.

We weren't late, we just wanted you to grovel as much as possible.

We beat the Germans and have the best armed forces on Earth. You lost against the Vietnamese, because your military is second rate.

You beat nobody, your defeat was imminent. "No American will think it wrong of me if I proclaim that to have the United States at our side was to me the greatest joy… So we had won after all!" - Churchill

US "destroyer escorts" were used by neither the RN (except for two dozen of them with diesel-electric drive that were so poorly designed that they were hardly used) or the RCN who did give the Yanks a dozen Canadian made Corvette's and two Frigates from Vickers in Montreal that the Yanks knocked off and copied into a class of destroyer escorts.

The only American warships of value that were used on the convoys were some little escort carriers that were eventually replaced by far better British light carriers.

Just in case you don't remember, Dunkirk was a military disaster that left Britain almost devoid of military equipment. In fact the only fully equipped military division in Britain after Dunkirk was the newly arrived Canadian division which had arrived too late to take part in the military fiasco that led to Dunkirk. The only thing that probably saved Britain was the Royal Navy, which prevented Hitler from making an immediate cross-Channel invasion.

Interestingly the arguments put forth for Britain moving out of the EU are almost identical to those put forth by the Scottish nationalists as reasons for seceding from Britain and those of Quebec separatists for seceding from Canada. None of them stand up to any scrutiny.

No. The thing which stopped Hitler invading Britain was Britain's victory in the Battle of Britain, which happened when Britain fought ALONE against Germany.

In actual fact, the arguments for Britain leaving the EU hold far more water than the arguments for Scotland leaving the UK. Britain would thrive and be far better off outside the EU whereas Scotland would never survive without being propped up by English taxpayers.

Just curious Blackleaf, when this "inevitable" alleged departure from the EU takes place will you be throwing out the tens of thousands of workers currently working in the UK?

Is there some law which states that foreigners are not allowed to work in a non-EU country?

They are presently working in the UK because of the law that provides freedom of movement within the EU. So you want the benefits only that EU provides and none of the responsibility, eh? I'm not surprised, it's been a staple of the British Empire for centuries.

The E provides very few benefits to Britain. Even the Remainers can't name any.

Yeah? Tens of thousands of workforce that limeys can't provide because you're too busy being drunks in the pubs.

Where's your evidence for this? Many Brits who are unemployed - and remember that Britain's unemployment rate is probably lower than America's - are unemployed because of the Eastern Europeans coming over and taking all the jobs.

As for the EU's free movement of people (a concept which is on its last legs thanks to the refugee crisis): that's precisely what it is. Free movement of people, not just workers. Within the EU, Britain has to accept ALL people from anywhere else in the EU whether they are skilled or unskilled workers or even if they have no intention of working here and just want to claim our benefits, and there's nothing Britain can do to cut this immigration unless it leaves the EU. This means that the only immigration Britain can cut and control is immigration from outside the EU. This means that Britain has to cut the number of skilled workers coming in from the Commonwealth - like doctors from India - yet let in unlimited numbers of UNSKILLED workers and unemployed people from the EU. Once out of the EU Britain can then drastically cut the number of unskilled workers coming in from the EU and let in more skilled workers from the Commonwealth. We can't go on discriminating against skilled workers from the Commonwealth in favour of unskilled workers and thieving, disease-ridden Roma filth from the EU.

And the immigration rate is way too high, at the moment. It should be cut to one-tenth what it is now.

It sure is. Rather famously so. Everyone else had either been taken over, surrendered and collaborated (the Frogs) or sat on the sidelines twiddling their thumbs waiting for the Japs to attack (the Yanks).

Why should we come and fight, just because you proclaimed war with Germany? F*ck you, fight your own wars.

I think you may have been obliged to fight anyway after the Germans and Japs declared war on you and the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor.

Saved your butts.

I always found it odd that they declared war on Germany for invading Poland but did not declare war on the Soviet Union for doing the same thing.


And how they sat on the sidelines while Japan invaded China.
