We have to rely on air patrols and our own patrol craft to keep them clear of the convoy.

Hugging the south coast and moving like we are heading to southern Africa is a ruse we can pull off.

There is no route 100% safe.

One tactic we have not mentioned is the fake attack - at night several escorts go off from the convoy - say 5 miles and mock up an attack - loads of snowflake, depth charges etc. The U boats see that and move towards it thinking it must be another boat attacking the convoy, pulling them away from the real convoy. probably only to be used when we think subs are near. Shall we add this to our arsenal?

Indeed, keeping all other security in place.
