H.M.S. Porpoise in today. She too arrives unready for her job"..."The submarines of the Royal Navy arriving here are in the most horrible condition. Looks as thought we'll have to rebuilt (them) before they are able to do any work in enemy areas-if they have that in mind."

It would be interesting to see the Royal Navy's opinion of Admiral Christie.

Yes British subs would be good, although I would prefer to see them in the Med.
