Dad's Army P14s

If it's the similar to the Thompson SMG ratio then it'd be about 7% lost. The U-boat commercial targets were generally tankers and freighters with deck cargo which would indicate aircraft or tanks/vehicles

I wonder how many Model of 1917s ended up on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. They appear to be shipped during the height of the U-boot "menace" in the early 1940's. A thought to consider. Does any one know the lost rate?

I doubt it very much. at the time of the major shipment (1940) the Kriegsmarine had few ocean-going U-Boats and had not yet built up their presence on the French Atlantic Coast.
