An item reported the sighting of an enemy submarine on 31 July around 130 miles northwest of Ascension Island. The J.I.C. commented that this was south of the area where usually submarines were active and feared that shipping between Cape of Good Hope, South Africa and North American harbours was to becoma a new hunting area. The number of location of enemy submarines in the Western Atlantic Ocean seemed hardly to be changed.
