Wolfpack was a naval strategy where a cluster of submarines would attack ships, just like a pack of wolves attacks their prey. In World War II, the German U-Boats used this tactic during the Battle of the Atlantic. The American submarines also did this against Japanese shipping. Anywhere between 3 and 34 submarines were used in convoys that involved the sinking of a ship.

During the Iraqi War in 2003 the term Wolfpack referred to the American and British submarines working together to launch Tomahawk missiles against Iraqi targets.

How did the US attack the Pacific?

the US used a tactic called "island-hopping". For strategic island targets, aerial and naval bombardment destroyed anything on land. Then troops would invade the island, eventually securing the island from any Japanese pillboxes. If an island was considered of no strategic importance, then a full naval and aerial bombardment would be carried out, until there as nothing much left of the island and then they could move on. That tactic was used all the way to Iwo Jima. From then on, it would be nuclear bomb explosions, or a full-fledged invasion of Japan, that would end the war.
