Morning

I know what the kids will ask.

If a u-boat attempted to sail up the Thames in 1941, what defences from the English would it have had to get past?

I know nothing about the detail.

Were English ships using detection systems back then? Sorry for my ignorance. I have a hazy recollection of sonar being used in old British war movies.

Many thanks
Gary Nott
