Thanks for this witness. This experience could be terrorific for everyone!


For casistic of big liners escorts, i remember RMS Queen Mary and her escort, cruiser HMS Curacao.
The liner was at speed, and in a zig zag route, she split in half the cruiser. And QM captain order to not stop for help survivors of the smaller ship, for U-Boat danger °_° Hard decision here, btw; Queen Mary was full of soldier, the risk was really elevated.

That's right mate....and further weight to the 'no escort' rationale
