Wolfpack tactics
Wolfpack tactics refer to a military strategy primarily used by German U-boats during World War II to attack Allied shipping convoys. Instead of attacking ships individually, U-boats would operate in groups, or "wolfpacks," to overwhelm a convoy's defenses. By coordinating their attacks, the U-boats could effectively target and sink multiple ships, minimizing their own risks. This tactic exploited the element of surprise and aimed to disrupt supply lines crucial for the war effort, demonstrating the strategic value of teamwork and coordination in naval warfare.
