I have been chatting with Fischerking and we have a variation on our general tatics. It is to put one of our sloops - not the Stork - about 10 miles in front of the convoy to passively search for subs. This would be during daylight hours only. this forward picket would search for subs visually and with hydrophones. It would return to the convoy escort for the hours of darkness, but would attack any U boat it found. At best it would sink them, at worst drive them underwater, making it difficult for the sub to attack the convoy due to its slow speed underwater.

What do you think?
