The U-Boat Flotilla moved south-east off the coast of Canada, hoping to intercept British shipping.  The 2st Battleship Flotilla sailed south-west on a parallel course to the British convoys, without knowing where the enemy was.  In the South Atlantic the 2nd Flotilla sailed due north towards the coast of West Africa.
