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
May 1942
Atlantic
Return Russian Convoy QP11 - QP11 departed Russia on the 28th April and on the 30th cruiser "Edinburgh" was torpedoed twice by U-boat. As she limped back to Russia, three German destroyers attacked QP11, but only managed to sank a straggler. They found the cruiser on the 2nd. In a series of confused fights, "Edinburgh" disabled the "Hermann Schoemann" by gunfire, but was then torpedoed for a third time by either "Z-24" or "Z-25". Both "EDINBURGH" and "HERMANN SCHOEMANN" were scuttled on the 2nd. The surviving 12 merchantmen of QP11 got through to Reykjavik, Iceland on the 7th. Convoys PQ16 and QP12 passed through in May. PQ16 started out for Russian with 35 ships but one returned, six were lost to heavy aircraft attacks and one to U-boats. QP12 had one return but the other 14 reach Iceland.
Battle of the Atlantic - U-boat strength approached 300 with over 100 operational. A fairly complete convoy system was being introduced off the US east coast from Florida north, but the submarines were now concentrating in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. They could now spend more time on station assisted by 'Milchcow' supply boats. The result was that Allied losses continued at a high rate, especially among tankers. In the North Atlantic, convoy ONS92 lost seven ships in one night to a pack attack.
Monthly Loss Summary
- 122 British, Allied and neutral ships of 585,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes, 2 cruisers, 1 destroyer and 1 submarine
- 1 German destroyer, 1 U-boat by US Coast Guard off east coast of America
