Can you imagine what it must have been like on the Queen Mary , when they had 25,000 GI's on board !
Blacked out at night , not enough liferafts , North Atlantic..................

I may be wrong but don’t think the Queen Mary ever travelled in convoy . She was safer on her own due to her speed , no uboat would ever catch up with her even on the surface and in her case zig zagging would be very much in her favour if she ran into a pack.and had the extra sea room., JS

#33 Today however would be totally different and since about 1980 the introduction of the stingray torpedo which today can follow any particular vessel on its particular propellor noise for identification leave little room for survival . Even in 1980 myself and others spent a lot of time retrieving listening devises off the sea bottom on the approaches to the Clyde placed there by aliens to record propellor noise of nuclear submarines going out and returning off patrol. Today this must be a further advanced to the basic knowledge of those years. JS
