Admiral Sims Defends Early War Patrols and Convoy Delay
Six months after the United States entered the war Admiral Sims argues the Navy Department delayed adopting his policy advice. He says lack of allied cooperation prolonged the conflict to November 1918, costing 500000 lives and 15 billion dollars and wasting 2500000 tons of shipping.
