Battle of Pierres Noires

The Battle of Pierres Noires was a naval action that occurred during the Allied Operation Dredger, involving several Royal Canadian Navy destroyers and a Kriegsmarine u-boat with escorts near Brest, France. The RCN force managed to sink or damage some of the escorts on the surface, but the U-boat was able to escape.〔http://books.google.ca/books?id=TpDlFI453RcC&pg=PA341&lpg=PA341&dq=UJ1420&source=bl&ots=bmAqqfxCvQ&sig=DERc-J-3KVSirOJDzNOmoPcUB48&hl=en&ei=VYi_TYHUAcK_gQfeyMjWBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CDcQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=UJ1420&f=false Rohwer p. 340〕
== Background ==
The port of Brest had been an important U-boat base since the Fall of France, and its capture was one of the objectives of Operation Overlord. With the increasing effectiveness of the Allied anti-submarine campaign however it often became essential for any U-boat departing the port to have surface escorts. The Kriegsmarine would often employ Vorpostenboot class escort trawlers to accomplish that task, and over time these boats developed a fearsome reputation among the Allied navies. On July 5, 1944 Escort Group 12 and Escort Group 14 were deployed to the vicinity of Brest as part of Operation Dredger; EG 12 (Consisting of the RCN ''River''-class destroyers HMCS ''Saskatchewan'', HMCS ''Qu'Appelle'', HMCS ''Skeena'' and HMCS ''Restigouche'') was tasked with intercepting the ships escorting the u-boats, while EG 14 would patrol further offshore to intercept any U-boats that managed to escape.
