    When we were taught about the Lusitania in school, it was never mentioned that they were carrying ammunition - all we were told was that it was an innocent passenger liner.

    Even at the reduced speed of 18 knots Lusitania was still by far faster and then a submarine serviced or submerged. U-20 just got lucky that William Turner the captain the Lusitania ordered a turn in their direction. And the Lusitania and her sister Mauretania we're built with money borrowed from the British admiralty, and we're on the books as auxiliary Cruisers, and where we required to have a top speed of 25 knots and places on the deck for mounting Naval artillery, and longitudinal coal bunkers which is one reason the Lusitania took on that sharp list almost immediately after being hit. And as for the secondary explosion that people heard and felt that was probably more than likely the rupture of a main steam line.

    This video made me think of the song "Wolfpack" by Sabaton Did the Americans ever fight naval battles with the British in the Atlantic? Also technically I'm pretty sure there were battles involving like Spain and England or France and England in the Atlantic and stuff... Unless you differentiate things by being like "The English Channel is not part of the Atlantic!" but like it's the same sort of body of water... Though I guess by that logic, most of the oceans are the same body of water... Think there were also naval battles between Americans in the Atlantic during the civil war...

    Most of those would have been named for the particular war it was part of, and the battles would have been a bit closer to the lands involved. The battle of the Atlantic in WW1, would have encompassed most of what constituted international waters of the entire Atlantic, not just parts claimed by various countries. Since supplies were coming from the US, U-boats would travel far out into the Atlantic ocean to attack them, because areas around coastlines were more heavily defended.

    @@richardbidinger2577 True, but has there been another battle that has taken place far out into the Atlantic since then? The word "First" in the title just seems confusing since I'm not sure of any wars after WW2 where much of the fighting took place far away from the coastlines of the Atlantic... The only war I can think of that even took place between different sides of the Atlantic after WW2 was when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands beginning a war with Britain and I think the naval warfare from that was done around the coast of Argentina... Also I guess all those times America has invaded the Middle East and stuff, but again that's not much naval warfare far into the Atlantic... So was there at least a second battle far into the Atlantic?
