Summary

Radar being operated by South African service women who are working day and night spotting enemy submarines which may be prowling round their coasts. When the presence of an unknown vessel is located it is reported to another department known as the Filter Room. This is where positions are plotted, then contact is made with Operations Room. A plane is then directed to the objective keeping in touch all the time with the Operations Room. Depth charges are dropped and explode in sea and a circle of oil suggests the end of the U-boat.
