I just love these old school visualizations : here are all the ships fall back by the British Navy during World War II . Many of these were hunt down by Nazi U - Boats . It ’s a staggering amount but it could have been a bunch worse .
Thankfully , the beneficial guys snap the Nazi Enigma cipher machine and , as a result , the Allied knock off the Kriegsmarine ’s submarine fleet .
For comparison , the inset graphic on the bottom right shows the ships lose during World War I. [ Longstreet — Thanks Jim ! ]
