Thanks Andy,
I can see that in open water and that was always going to be a much harder environment to survive in.
I was thinking that rockets would have been preferable in San Carlos Water though.
No detection until the attack aircraft pop over a ridge with quite a short distance to run - effectively you get the pop up for free.
What was the preferred ordnance attacking ships at Loch Ewe on JMC's - pretty similar environment I would have thought?
