Wolf!," was optimistic, gaily predicted that U.S. factories would be producing 850,000 tons of synthetic a year within a twelvemonth-more than enough for all military needs...
...Tactic. But most important of all, the conferees devised a tactic which will make it possible for the Allies to use their equipment offensively against the U-boat, not passively and defensively. The tactic was designed to counter the U-boat scheme of hunting in wolf packs...
