There were three routes to the USSR. First, was the northern route to Murmansk and Ark Angel. Second, was the southern route around Africa and then overland through Iran. Third was the Pacific route. This route extended from American west coast to Vladivostok. This proved to be the most important because the northern route had German combat ships and planes opposing it and Iran had a long voyage and difficult transportation. About half of Lend Lease shipments went over the third route.
The Pacific highway route is about an hour shorter than the inland route.

The best route to sail from the Philippines to Panama typically involves navigating through the South China Sea, then eastward across the Pacific Ocean. Sailors often head towards the Mariana Islands, then continue to the Central Pacific, passing near islands like Wake and Midway before reaching the Panama Canal via the Central American coast. This route offers favorable wind patterns and avoids major typhoon zones, making it safer and more efficient for sailing.
