Original Note:
Prior to WWII merchant vessels were not routinely escorted and piracy had become globally rare by the mid 19th century. For instance the use of naval escorts was so rare that convoying was not adopted by the Royal Navy in WWI until 1917, the penultimate year of the War. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy https://www.britannica.com/topic/convoy-naval-operations
