"I should like to pay the highest tribute for the most gallant fight put up against impossible odds"
Admiral Tovey - (After the sinking of the Bismarck)


		The most famous commander of the Western Approaches was Admiral Sir Max Horton, who took command in Nov 1942 and immediately
instituted a series of tactical changes in the way the escort ships were to be used. Organizing them into "support groups" and "hunter-killer groups", they were to operate at longer distances from the convoys and prevent the deadly wolf packs from ever forming.
