Trump Mocks France Over WWII Commemorations, Urges Greater U.S. Recognition
The destroyers the US provided were leftovers from WWI and were obsolete. So many were in bad shape that only 30 could be put into service a year later. The hulls leaked, the engines had not been maintained. They were easily damaged. The USA's oil embargo on Japan was intended to slow Japanese expansion and to protect US interests in places like the Philippines. The US escorting activity prior to the declaration war was almost always in neutral shipping lanes and was primarily in respect to US flagged vessels. Yes, USN were dispatched as far north as Iceland, but the lack of active engagements speaks to the low risk activity. You can count the engagements on one hand. The fact is that the kriegsmarine U boats did not have an expanded range until 1942. Germany did not have enough U boats to successfully attack convoys in the Atlantic until late 1942. In 1940, the kriegsmarine only had 22 U boats with the range that could allow Atlantic operations. More importantly, the Germans were trying to avoid contact with the USN as they did not wish to give Roosevelt a reason to enter the war. -

I'd also like to see more hospitals and mental health facilities, but I think what's growing is the just number of cameras. -

This is why I asked. The 350 has a larger bell/clutch assy. I was not aware it didn't improve the system. -
