 With 3 U-boats destroyed for no ships lost ON 207 was undoubtedly an Allied victory; but if Admiralty was hoping to inflict a crushing blow to UbW by wiping out an entire wolf pack, this success eluded them.Most of the U-boats were unable to make contact, and those that did were unable to shadow effectively in order to bring the pack together.Possibly the escorts were unfamiliar with their role as bait, and were too efficient at keeping the pack away from the convoy.
