I didn't realize this until I started reading about it, but there was
a LOT of enemy activity near our beaches during WW2.

German subs torpedoed US ships virtually within sight of the coast. My
parents said the beach at Ocean city had oil in the water or traces
if it in the sand. There are even stories of U-boats in the bay.

My Mom was a WAVE during WWII and was a PO at the Coast Guard radio
station on Cape Cod. She and her best friend used to walk the beach
at night - according to her it wasn't unusual to watch Navy and CG
ships chasing subs in the distance - say a mile or two off shore.
