Crescendo of Doom
“The news that the German Hindenburg battlegroup had left Toulon heading west was a shock, and the fact that it was already six hours old when he received it made that even worse. The threat the Germans posed from Gibraltar had been minimal since Britain lost her Rock. The airfield there was small, and was mainly being used for naval search planes, and the harbor itself had become a way station for U-boats. But otherwise, Hindenburg had made only a brief stop there before moving east into the Me...d. Now it seemed he would finally get his day of reckoning.Weeks ago, when he got the news that Admiral Tovey was ordering both Rodney and Nelson round the cape to the Med, he had raised an eyebrow, somewhat perplexed. They’re taking things from me that I don’t even own! Yes, I was told I would have the services of Rodney and Nelson here for some time, but then Rodney was recalled home. Admiralty says they want her to sail for Boston, and get fitted out with all new boiler tubes! Can’t that wait?MoreLess
