Operation Drumbeat was exactly the operation I was referring to. Upon our entry into WW II, the KM had the plans for Drumbeat in hand, but didn't have the subs.

I understand; I didn’t know the timing of the sub attack along the beach in terms of oue entry into the war (and didn’t assume the victim was a US ship).

The economic war at sea was fascinating; the Germans must have known they were finished when convoys launched their own planes - game over.
