In the darkest days of the Battle of the Atlantic, German admirals mocked the idea of small escort carriers, believing only massive fleet ships could defeat the deadly U-boat threat. They were wrong.
This documentary reveals how Henry Kaiser’s rapid-built escort carriers transformed the Atlantic into a deadly trap for German submarines. Built at unprecedented speed using assembly-line methods, these so-called “Kaiser hulls” deployed aircraft deep into the Mid-Atlantic air gap — a region once considered untouchable by Allied air power.
Through real wartime events, convoy battles, and breakthrough naval tactics, you’ll discover how hunter-killer groups used escort carriers to locate, track, and eliminate U-boats, shifting the balance of the entire naval war. What began as a ridiculed experiment became one of the most effective anti-submarine strategies in World War II.
This video explores the technology, leadership decisions, and industrial innovation that helped secure Allied supply lines and ultimately changed the course of the war at sea.
