Submarines in the channel? I doubt it, too much traffic, too much wreckage and not enough play room. Anyone who has done the run through Der kanal in any Silent Hunter game can tell you that. Chances are the escorts have probably sprinted around Scotland and will meet up in the North Sea.
In the unlikely event that anything happened there, well...they're slap bang between French and Dutch forces on one side and British forces on the other.
Even with our depleted forces, the group would not make it into the North Sea.
It's all just the usual posturing.
