I don't know from where you get your facts. Over 1000 allied ships were lost in 1941. "Sinking of the SS Lehigh, October 19, 1941 by Sam Hakam, Radio Operator The torpedo struck without warning. There was a loud explosion followed by a towering plume of smoke and debris. My first reaction was "This is just like you see it in the movies." But this was not the movies, This was for real. Utter astonishment and disbelief followed. Jimmy, the fireman on the 4 to 8 watch, stood on deck shouting "They can't do this to us," over and over again. He had reason to shout. It was October 19, 1941. We were not in the war yet...." usmm.org
