It’s November 1939 and Glasgow is looking for Bremen near Shetland; four destroyers have left Belfast – but Belfast is in Glasgow; Newcastle is off the Firth of Forth in proximity to Delhi; Rawalpindi is now between the Færös and Iceland; Norfolk and Suffolk are in the Denmark Straight (which is between Greenland and Iceland) heading for Bill Bailey’s Bank; south east of Cardiff is Fair Isle where the channel is being guarded by Rosythe Force – including Edinburgh – which is led by Southampton; there’s Aurora round Utsire Light; Repulse is returning to Halifax as is Furious; Dunkerque has left Portsmouth with Hood; there are two dummy battleships being withdrawn and their escorts are proceeding to Ewe, which has been vacated by Sheffield sailing past Lewis, to meet up with Rodney and Devonshire who are with Forbes’ Flag on Nelson; and five submarines from the Forth and Tyne are patrolling god alone knows where (but their spacing has been increased because when hostilities started in 1939 they were trying to torpedo each other).
