The story of an important aspect of the naval war in WW! where the Q-ship service proved to be a vital part of the war against the German submarine threat.

They were designed to lure submarines into making surface attacks, at which point the Royal Ensign would be raised and the exposed and vulnerable U-boat fired upon with deck guns. This volume contains eye-witness accounts of their succssful role, operations, decoys, battles and their commanders and crew. Author Chatterton was a former Naval Reserve Lieutenant-Commander.
