First, SURCOUF could not have been within 300 miles of the THOMPSON LYKES at the time of the collision. We know when she left Bermuda. We know her maximum speed with only one shaft operating. There is no evidence of any sightings or attacks by anybody after she left Bermuda.
The British liaison party was one officer and two ratings. My guess is that they were disposed of en route to Martinique. In letters home they had mentioned their suspicions that such a thing might happen.
