Based on the experience of Q-ships during World War I, it was hoped Irene Forsyte, with her relatively heavy armament concealed, could lure German submarines into close quarters on thesurface and sink them with gunfire.
Later in the day, however, Irene Forsyte reported thatno assistance was needed, that she was proceeding to Bermuda, The tugs were recalled.She anchored in Hamilton Sound, Bermuda, and was reconditioned.
The conversion of USS Irene Forsyte is an instance of misguided conception and misdirected zeal, which, coupled withinefficiency resulting from lack of supervision by competent authority; has cost the government nearly half a million dollars inmoney and a serious waste of effort.
