What reading level is Q Ships And Their Story book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These sloops had been built for mine- sweeping work, and not as anti-submarine ships, and it was only because of the shortage of destroyers — thanks largely to the demands in this respect by the Grand Fleet — that these single-screwed, compara- tively slow vessels were engaged on escort and patrol duties.
In this engagement between the Q-ship and sub- marine everything had been done that could have been brought about by a most experienced, skilful, and determined British officer. His guns had k...ept on hitting, and yet the enemy had escaped. Fortu- nately we now know the story from the enemy's side, as an account of this incident was published in the German Press, and bears out all that has been said above. The German version mentions that U 84 took the British ship for a tank steamer. This is not in the least surprising, for the Penslinrst was one of those small ships with her engines aft just as you see in an * oil-tanker, ' and such a craft was sure enough bait for any submarine.
