    Another sad story.

    H.M.C.S. RACCOON

    On the night of 6 to 7 September 1942, a German submarine (the U-165) attacked convoy QS-33 of the Royal Canadian Navy, escorted by three armed ships, including H.M.C.S. Raccoon, a former US pleasure yacht converted into a warship. Four ships were sunk. The Raccoon set off in pursuit the U-boat and disappeared into the thick fog of that Summer night. Later, survivors of the convoy heard loud explosions and the Raccoon was never seen again. Only a few pieces of wreckage and the body of one sailor were ever found.

    That certainly was sad Dave.
    I'll see if I can find something a bit more cheerful for today.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
