This page is good except it is missing one major concept: What IS a convoy system? I have read the whole page and I'm still confused about exactly what a "convoy system" consists of and how it functions. Dryphi ( talk) 04:47, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
The article is good, however I mean, that the german convoy system in the baltic sea since 1916 comes up short. It was a realy efficient system to guard the iron ore steam ships from sweden. The loss rate of ships was significant lower than before. MfG URTh ( talk) 19:08, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
The section Maturation refers to Admiral Sims as liaison to the British Admiralty - which is true - but then says nothing about the massive effort put forth by the Cruiser and Transport Force to get the AEF overseas. It also does not discuss - at all - the concept of shipping lanes, & how they were adjusted according to reported positions of German U-boats. The section Organization does not mention the partnership with the US Navy at all. The sea lanes were divided between the Royal Navy (those going to GB) & the US Navy (those going to France). The sharing of real-time intelligence between the Admiralty & the Naval HQ in Europe is a story which should be more widely known. Previous editors of this article should not feel offended - even here in the States, our Navy's role in WW1 is almost unknown! I can handle the article update but it won't be for perhaps 6-8 weeks, as I am cleaning up several other articles right now. (I came here because I am updating Yeoman (US Navy) right now. -- AnalyticalHistoricalHobbyist ( talk) 19:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
