Thanks for the reply. Sorry I've been "out of it" for so long. In regard to why a British cruiser would be escorted only by a single minesweeper, my Dad always said that the upcoming invasion of Sicily (just a week or so away) demanded so much of the existing allied escort assets that the AM-90 was the only ship available with any ASW weapons at all. He often gave that situation as an example of the shortage of escort vessels prior to the arrival of large numbers of destroyer escorts. later in 1943.

I'll try to get Direct's log and figure it out. Thanks again.
