Some 167 U.S., Dutch, and British submarines conducted one of the most effective submarine operations in history. The existence of the Allied operations from Fremantle and Albany was not widely known, and yet its effect was critical. These submarines strangled Japanese maritime communications so that Japan could not re-supply its deployed forces or feed its own population.
