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
April 1942
Atlantic
14th - "U-252" attacked UK/Gibraltar convoy OG82 southwest of Ireland and was sunk by sloop "Stork" and corvette "Vetch" of the 36th EG (Cdr Walker). This was one of the first successful attacks using 10cm Type 271 radar. From now on the new radar and HF/DF would play an increasing part in the sinking of U-boats.
14th - The US Navy had its first warship success against U-boats when destroyer "Roper" sank "U-85" off the east coast of America.
Russian Convoys - During the month, Russian convoy PQ14 set out from Iceland with 24 ships. Only seven arrived. One was sunk by a U-boat and another 16 had to turn back because of the weather. Return convoy QP10 lost four of its 16 ships around the same time, two each to U-boats and aircraft. Towards the end of the month convoys PQ15 and QP11 sailed. Both had cruisers in close support and PQ15 was covered by units of the Home Fleet including battleships "King George V" and the American "Washington". On the 30th the QP11 cruiser "Edinburgh" was torpedoed twice by "U-456" and had to turn back for Murmansk.
