Castle-class corvettes entered the Atlantic campaign when the Allies were gaining the upper hand. Their actions could involve several escorts concentrating Squid attacks on one submarine. Those engagements offer a different kind of story from the earlier convoy battles with heavy merchant losses. The class consequently receives less attention despite its operational success. The museum discussion that follows raises a related problem of visibility: the surviving U-boats do not form a representative sample of the wartime force.
