2. With reference to para. 11 of the report, ships
have been informed that E. Boats operate in conjunction
with aircraft. (C.-in-C., Nore's signal 1754/31/5
and R.A.D. Home Fleet's 1815/31/5). It should be
obvious that the tactics of the E. Boat are largely
governed by those of her quarry.
3. With reference to para. 12, an alternative
explanation of the flares sighted by SHELDRAKE on
2nd June is that they were flares towed by aircraft
on a course giving little change of bearing.
4. The provision of a 20 inch searchlight in the
KITTIWAKE class was recommended by D.T.S.D. in M.F.
7511/39. D.T.S.D. is trying to obtain this paper
and will raise this question separately.
The use of
a S/L may, however, assist the attack of other E boats
and it is difficult to site it so that it will bear
ahead without dazzling bridge personnel.
