		Later transferred to Loch Ewe for defence of the Grand Fleet anchorage.
		Re the torpedoing of the Goliath; the Majestic apparently was relieved by the Goliath and had protested against the burning of search lights as giving away her position; a protest that events have justified.
		Presumably the four destroyers were without lights and it appears to me that a more efficient watch could have been kept had they been burning searchlights on the beam, so that no surface craft could pass them without coming into the beam of the lights.

		To make my illustration even more interesting, during 1982, a british Royal Navy submarine was a few hundreds yards off a beach in Anglesey, on military manoeuvres preparing for the landing of special forces in the Falkland Islands.
		The truth is out there, I daren't tell you any more about the location of where these items have ben found everyone would be down there trashing the place, however, there is one glimmer of hope for all you treasure hunters, things have a way of happening.
		In May there will be an expedition team moving down to the local area, to search and hopefully recover more war time artefacts and shed more light on this mystery, any contributions to assist us would be appreciated, and hopefully bring some much needed publicity to Amlwch seafaring history.
