The homebound ones are the worst - U-boats preferring their victims to be deep-laden, full of cargo.
Andy has joined Quilla at the last minute and not with an easy mind.

That's if he makes it back, because this is what the U-boat people are calling their Happy Time - easy targets and lots of them, convoys with hardly any escorting warships. There have been heavy losses off Norway and Dunkirk - the vital priority at this time is for destroyers to counter the invasion that seems imminent. At the moment it is odds against any individual ship getting over 'the pond' and back...
