Summary: United States had been warned as early as Dec. 1941 that German submarines would be sent to interdict shipping along the Florida coast line.
Admiral Adlophus Andrews had been putting together a fleet of ships to counter the attack but by early January 1942, he could only muster a fleet of 20 small vessels. After May 1942, the u-boat activities along the coastline of northeast Florida and Georgia began to wane.
