Talk:German submarine U-190

What was the name of the sinking operation?
According to Warship International, No. 2, 1995, p. 208 the operation in which U-190 was sunk was called 'Operation Scuppered', not 'Operation Scuttled'. Can someone resolve this disagreement? Cenedi (talk) 11:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Wording
"The minesweeper HMCS Esquimalt was conducting a routine patrol of the harbour. She was employing none of the mandatory anti-submarine precautions: she was not zig-zagging; she had not streamed her towed Foxer-type decoy, designed as a countermeasure against GNAT torpedoes; she had turned off her radar." This sentence appears in the 'Sinking of HMCS Esquimalt' section. Although a landlubber, it makes me feel uneasy to think of a ship 'zig-zagging' and not streaming 'her towed Foxer-type decoy' inside the harbour!

That might not be the intention, but I think a spot of re-wording might be needed.

What do other editors think?
