A:After 1945, proposals to introduce tolls to the seaway were not sufficient to gain support for the project by the U.S. Congress. Growing impatient, and with Ontario desperate for the power to be generated by hydroelectricity, Canada began to consider developing the project alone. This seized the imagination of Canadians, engendering a groundswell of nationalism around the St. Lawrence. Canadian Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent advised U.S. President Harry S. Truman on September 28, 1951, that Canada was unwilling to wait for the United States and would build a seaway alone; the Canadian Parliament authorized the founding of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority on December 21 of that year. Fueled by this support, Saint Laurent's administration decided during 1951 and 1952 to construct the waterway alone, combined with the Moses-Saunders Power Dam. (This became the joint responsibility of Ontario and New York: as a hydropower dam would change the water levels, it required bilateral cooperation.) B:After the September 28, 1951 message, is it likely that Truman thought the United States had time to make a decision regarding the waterway? Answer: reflected
A:The first Q-ship victory was on 23 June 1915, when the submarine HMS "C24", cooperating with the decoy vessel "Taranaki", commanded by Lieutenant Frederick Henry Taylor CBE DSC RN, sank "U-40" off Eyemouth. The first victory by an unassisted Q-ship came on 24 July 1915 when "Prince Charles", commanded by Lieutenant Mark-Wardlaw, DSO, sank "U-36". The civilian crew of "Prince Charles" received a cash award. The following month an even smaller converted fishing trawler renamed HM Armed Smack "Inverlyon" successfully destroyed a U-Boat near Great Yarmouth. Inverlyon's small diesel engine had been upgraded for better performance, and she was fitted with a small 3 pounder (47 mm) gun. The British crew fired nine rounds from their 3-pounder into "UB-4" at close range, sinking her with the loss of all hands despite the attempt of "Inverlyon"s skipper to rescue one surviving German submariner. B:If Inverlyon found herself in the literal doldrums during a mission, could her commander have made a timely escape without assistance from any other craft? Answer: chad

The following month an even smaller converted fishing trawler renamed HM Armed Smack "Inverlyon" successfully destroyed a U-Boat near Great Yarmouth. Although made to look like an unpowered sailing ship, the "Inverlyon" was retrofitted with a diesel engine and a small 47-mm, 3-pounder gun. The British crew fired nine rounds from their 3-pounder into "UB-4" at close range, sinking her with the loss of all hands despite the attempt of "Inverlyon"s skipper to rescue one surviving German submariner.
