Abstract
The role of the airship has been largely ignored by traditional operational histories of World War II. Although airships never proved as effective an offensive weapon against submarines as their prewar proponents had promised, they played a strong defensive role in deterring U-boat assaults. They served successfully as convoy escorts and provided a number of useful ancillary services, including air/sea rescues and utility missions. American airships made a clear if limited contribution to successful Allied naval operations.
