Trying very hard to keep up with all your "edits", FED (that's banter by the way!
) but it can't have been all that much fun escorting convoys without knowing whether there were any Japanese submarines lurking along a well-established route, especially when neither warship is likely to have had anything but the most rudimentary sonar, if any, and no anti-submarine weapons.
Anyway, a fair response, and you are hereby forgiven on the basis of previous good character (more banter, as Glojo would be quick to appreciate ......
)
