20 October 1918: The Germans suspended submarine warfare; from June-November 1918, the Entente, principally the Americans (at the urging of Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt), had laid the North Sea Mine Barrage from Norway to the Orkney Islands, which sunk a confirmed four German U-boats (the last on 19 October, S.M. UB-123) & may have sunk four more.
Lest we forget.
