Q-ship

The Q-ship caught on fire and started to list slightly.

You must realize how valuable that kind of assistance can be, especially for a Q-ship.

But why should a whole squadron of raiders go after a Q-ship in the first place?

They'd obviously gotten a good, solid hit on the Q-ship, but the atmosphere loss was low.

His casualties were far worse than the Q-ship's, in both absolute and relative terms.

The Q-ship's crew, not having a wireless set on board, sent word of the encounter with another smack.

Once an enemy figured out you were using them, he'd simply start blowing away anything that might be a Q-ship from the maximum possible range.

The basic ethos of every Q-ship was to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

A Q-ship would appear to be an easy target, but in fact carried hidden armaments.

"And if that is a Q-ship, she could be armed more heavily than we were before they modified our armament."

The Q-ship was putting out some damned effective decoys.

She had forty-three minutes to destroy the Q-ship; otherwise, it had all been for nothing.

U-615 identified Fidelity as a Q-ship and shadowed her cautiously.

Another option was to arm and man decoy ships with hidden guns, the so-called Q-ship.

The plan presupposed that supporting forces would come to the rescue whenever a Q-ship ran into difficulties.

The Q-ship remained on the scene until 0500 the next morning until it became clear the submarine had been sunk.

"Whoever's in command of the Q-ship has screwed up.

Forty-five minutes after U-36 sank, the remaining survivors were picked up by the Q-ship.

By this stage of the campaign many merchant ships were defensively armed, and a Q-ship would look suspicious if she did not do the same.

The freighter was a Q-ship, a warship disguised as a merchantman.

Compare to the Q-ship, which was a disguised merchantman for anti-submarine operations.

The submarine had one more anxious moment during the patrol, when she encountered a Q-ship screened by a small escort.

The disguised Q-ship then stood southeast in hopes of encountering enemy submarines.

"It didn't affect the Q-ship's impeller nodes at all, for one thing.

"I thought you just said a Q-ship was no match for a heavy cruiser," Pritchart pointed out.
