 Included in the items comprising claims growing out of submarine warfare are losses alleged for death and injury of American citizens losses suffered in the destruction or of damage to American vessels; losses suffered in connection with American cargoes, both in American and for eign bottoms; and the loss of much valuable personal property other than cargoes.
