In some respects, reading accounts of naval operations in World War One is quite odd, as the authors spend a fair amount of time vilifying the Germans for the "unrestricted submarine campaign". as the author of the US Navy history of the Bureau of Ordnance does below.
I find myself wondering how many of them lived to see the "unrestricted submarine campaign" waged by the US Navy against Japan. I also wonder at times how they or for that matter, the current populace, would react to what the US did to the Japanese at the Battle of the Bismarck Sea in March of 1943.
Although the Germans did not make a formal declaration of their policy of sinking without warning and without regard to the laws of the seas and humanity, until February, 1917, they had, nevertheless, for a number of months previously increased the numbers of their sinkings of this purely piratical type.
