Response to Hr. Ms. Campbeltown

Jacques,

Thing I'm not grasping is that ALL of the (in)famous fifty flushdeckers WERE in fact renamed by the Brits, Canadians, or other Lend Lease recipients. What is it I ain't getting here?

Much is made of this generous hands-across-the-sea gifting, but for those who saw WWII duty aboard these cramped vessels--poor seakeeping boats in the often rough North Atlantic--they were decidedly NOT popular. St. Nazaire a good excuse to get rid of at least one of 'em?
