  1. One of the biggest problems I can see with this battle was the lack of aggressive action by the German destroyers. They were also equipped with torpedoes, so they could have made runs at the convoy, which would have created a major dilemma for Sherbrooke and the convoy commander. Instead they just tagged along with Hipper and Lutzow, contributing little to the battle. To me the lack of action by the German destroyers was crucial.
