Good evening Gentleman, I understand that there will be a party held in the honor of the brave crews. The Party in all of its wisdom has decided to honor our small group..
Special Instructions:
Everyone is now in La Rochelle, so please remember Bay of Biscay on both ends of transit. Gentlemen, I won't take up much of your time, as I know that you are preparing to get underway. All the difficulties with the torpedoes have been overcome. (G7a and G7e dud rate is now 1 on D6). Also, 15th Flotilla will no longer be undertaking mine laying operations, further orders to follow.
Historic Notes
July 1941
Atlantic
Iceland - US forces landed in Iceland to take over the defence of the island and surrounding seas from Britain.
Battle of the Atlantic - Continuous escort was now being provided for convoys to North America and from West Africa. Three new convoys were introduced: UK/North America Fast, ONF; UK/North America Slow, ONS - the two replacing the Outward Bound, OB's; UK/Sierra Leone, OS.
Air cover from Ireland, Iceland and Newfoundland was improving, but RAF Coastal Command lacked the aircraft to cover the mid-Atlantic gap. It was in this area, some 800 miles wide the U-boats were now concentrating. Between January and June 1941, North Atlantic merchant shipping losses had averaged 300,000 tons per month. From July to December 1941 they were considerably down at an average level of 104,000 tons. The reasons were varied - evasive convoy routing and more effective aircraft deployment from the 'Ultra’ work, introduction of radars and high frequency direction finding (HF/DF), the availability of more escorts, and continuous escort. Losses due to German aircraft were also well down as many were transferred to the Russian front.
Monthly Loss Summary
23 British, Allied and neutral ships of 98,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes
