Remnants of War


After reading through the research of the confrontational war between the British and German Q and U boats, reminds of the David and Goliath story. I see it as the Q boats being David and the power of the U boats is Goliath. But I feel that with all that happened in those battles, still to this day the spirit of the men who fought in the Q boats still lives on. These decoy ships played a massive and valuable role with the Allies in the anti U boat campaign. To this day we know of only one surviving boat, the HMS President that is currently moored on the Thames. This boat will always remain a testament to the unsung heroes who risked their lives under the veil of secrecy.
