William (Bill) Manning Rountree, Jr. (March 28, 1917 – November 3, 1995) was an American diplomat. He served overseas in Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Iran and as ambassador at different times to Pakistan, Sudan, South Africa, and Brazil.^[1]

He was born in Swainsboro, Georgia to William Manning Rountree, Sr. and Clyde Branan Rountree on March 28, 1917. William Sr. died when his son, the youngest in a family of seven children, was eighteen months old. The family moved to Atlanta when William Jr. was six, where he attended high school. After graduating from high school in 1935, Rountree got a job with the United States Department of the Treasury where he held various clerical and accounting positions. He later became involved with the lend-lease program.^[2]

In 1942 he transferred to the United States Department of State and was assigned to Cairo, Egypt where he helped organize World War II aid programs. This led to a long diplomatic career in which Rountree specialized in the Middle East and South Asia. During 1948 and 1949 he was assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece, where he helped administer U.S. aid programs to the Greek army which was fighting Communist insurgents. He later held positions in Turkey and Iran. In 1956 he became Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern, South Asian and African Affairs. In this position he helped develop U.S. policy involving the Suez crisis in November 1956 and the U.S. intervention in Lebanon in 1958. Rountree served as Ambassador to Pakistan (1959–62), Sudan (1962–65), South Africa (1965–70), and Brazil (1970–73). He retired in May 1973 and settled in Gainesville, Florida, where he died of cancer on November 3, 1995.^[3]

List of ships sunk by submarines by death toll

Heavy casualties occurred when submarines sank large passenger ships converted into military transports, such as the Wilhelm Gustloff, that were overloaded with soldiers, prisoners, or refugees. While submarines were invented centuries ago, development of self-propelled torpedoes during the latter half of the 19th century dramatically increased the effectiveness of military submarines. Initial submarine scouting patrols against surface warships sank several cruisers during the first month of...
