Editing Submarine chaser (section)

===War service===
The British sub chasers were operated around the coast in defence. However, they were uncomfortable, wet and not suited to British sea conditions.{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} Although used during the First World War, they were sold when the war ended.

Submarine chasers were used mostly by the [[United States Coast Guard]] in World War II for destroying German [[U-boat]]s that were stationed off the coast of the United States that were trying to sink merchant convoys as they departed American ports.  In the [[Pacific War|Pacific Theatre]], submarine chasers were used for [[Amphibious warfare|amphibious landings]], courier and escort duty.<ref>[http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/15idx.htm Submarine Chaser Photo Archive] NavSource</ref><ref>[http://www.splinterfleet.org/ Splinter Fleet – The Wooden Subchasers of World War II<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref name="Gardiner and Chesneau" />

The [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] had around 250 submarine chasers in World War II, principally about 200 of the [[No.1-class auxiliary submarine chaser]]s. Some of these survived to serve in the [[Japan Maritime Self Defense Force]] (JMSDF) after the war.<ref>Watts, pp. 279–288</ref>

During [[Project Hula]], the United States secretly transferred 32 U.S. Navy submarine chasers to the [[Soviet Union]] between 26 May and 2 September 1945, and some of these saw action in the [[Soviet Navy]] during [[Soviet–Japanese War (1945)|Soviet military operations against the Japanese]] between 9 August and 2 September 1945. The transfer of 24 more was canceled when transfers halted on 5 September 1945, three days after the [[Japanese surrender]]. Between 1954 and 1960 all 32 transferred submarine chasers were scrapped by the Soviet Union or destroyed off its coast by mutual agreement between the two countries.<ref>Russell, Richard A., ''Project Hula: Secret Soviet-American Cooperation in the War Against Japan'', Washington, D.C.: [[Naval Historical Center]], 1997, {{ISBN|0-945274-35-1}}, pp. 35, 37–38, 40.</ref>
