Scope and content
Series consists of microfiche of plots and charts relating to the organization of Canadian convoys during the Second World War. Although the plots and charts were created by Naval Service Headquarters in Ottawa, each directorate within NSHQ were assigned different responsibilities. The Directorate of Trade was responsible for the arrangement of the convoys. The Fighting Equipment Co-ordinating Authority (FECA), under the broader authority of the Directorate of Warfare and Training, ensured that the fighting ships were properly equipped. U-Boat estimates were provided by the Operational Intelligence Centre. The Directorate of Naval Operations was responsible for both the employment and disposal of ships involved in submarine warfare. The microfiche fall under the following headings: Miscellaneous (includes convoy arrangements, convoy routes, commands, and reports of U-Boat warfare); Fighting Equipment Co-ordinating Authority (FECA) Plots; and U-Boat Estimates. In addition, there are oversize prints of both Fighting Equipment Co-ordinating Authority (FECA) and Miscellaneous Plans.
