QUIZ

Which ship and to what Navy did it belong ?
The only ship ever recorded to sink six enemy submarines over a period of only two weeks?
No fair Googling

 

There is already a naval quiz at our quiz-section.

 

oops..failed to notice that.
Perhaps this post can be moved?

 

USN Destroyer Escort USS England

 

Using the hedgehog A/S system.

 

Hence the saying 'There'll always be an England in the USN' - though this is not currently the case.

 

yes but isnt there a USS Winston S Churchill in the navy???

 

There's surely at least one USS Lafayette....

 

There is currently a Churchill (Arleigh Burke guided missile DD). I don't think there is a Lafayette at present, although there has been in the past. I thnk the last was early SSBN.

 

I'm impressed that so many people were aware of this. Kudos to canambridge for being the first

The skipper was a namesake though not directly related AFAIK..in any case the Exec was the man who ran the ASW efforts..it worked wwell for them from the outset so they decided to keep a winning team operating.
Luck of course played a part in this remarkable accomplishment as well.
