Allies fought back against German U-boats by implementing a combination of tactics, including the use of convoy systems to protect merchant ships, which made it harder for U-boats to target isolated vessels. Advancements in technology, such as depth charges and sonar, improved anti-submarine warfare capabilities. Additionally, the introduction of long-range aircraft allowed for aerial patrols over the Atlantic, increasing detection and interception of U-boats. These strategies collectively reduced U-boat effectiveness and contributed to the Allies' naval superiority.
