U-boats or was that phrase not used until WWII? The term "Wolf Pack" was not used until well into WW11, and was as a result of someone at the Admiralty stating, "they are attacking our convoys like a pack of wolves!". As the allies formed a shipping convoy system, so the Germans developed a multipronged attack method, consisting of several U boats converging at the same time on a convoy. This was due to the increasing amount of tonnage, mainly from the USA, reaching the UK. Prior to this, U boats generally operated on their own and so were a lot less effective.
