During the war, after U-boats sank the Lusitania and began daring attacks on shipping vessels off the East Coast, the American press dubbed these weapons Hun Devil Boats, Sea Thugs, and Baby Killers. But at the conflicts conclusion, the U.S. Navy acquired six U-boats to study and to serve as war souvenirs. Until their destruction under armistice terms in 1921, these six U-boats served as U.S. Navy ships, manned by American crews. The ships visited eighty American cities to promote the sale of victory bonds and to recruit sailors, allowing hundreds of thousands of Americans to see up close the weapon that had so captured the publics imagination. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Submarine. $x Submarine. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Prizes, etc. 650 0 $a Submarines (Ships) $x 20th century. $x History $x 20th century. 650 0 $a Submarines (Ships) $x 20th century. $x History $x 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Naval operations, American. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Naval operations, German. 830 0 $a Studies in war, society, and the military. 941 $a 1 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20210304015305.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=80E6ED667CB711EB8C51190E5AECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b AAAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
