Moving Audacity to the front won’t make any difference in her operational abilities. It will just make her a better target.

She has no independent escorts, either. We have only the eight remaining escorts, seven corvettes and the Stork.

If a sub is contacted the escorts in that zone of responsibility are going to have to do the job and do it quickly.

With it being obvious that we are being hunted by a wolf pack a request for reinforcements needs to be sent.

Another two or three escorts would make it possible to be more of hunters than the hunted but at this point we are only able to defend the convoy and should not risk leaving any areas unprotected.
