Tabular list of all engagements between Q.ships and submarines?

Is there one? The well known ones are retold/rewritten repeatedly.

 

Is that is what is inside 

ADM 131/85
Description:

Special service vessels and "Q" ships: engagements with enemy submarines; first idea of "Q" ships and fitting out.

Hello Felix,

 

well, I don't know of any lists of engagements to be true, apart from some within several books, maybe, but these, as you said, in parts are obsolete in one way or another

 

This ADM 131 file of course just will deal with engagements from Q-ships from Plymouth station up to a given date, at least that is what I would expect from such a file ...

Thanks. Since the original post I acquired  ADM 137/4056,    Movements of `Q' ships Date:    1916-1918   
and beneath each ship entry there is the briefest summary of service to include contacts. 

I suppose I could make a list of those.

Of course, those are the known. Now It is a case of sifting through many papers to obtain the list of the lesser known ones.

Stick with the summarised info in the Staff Monographs.  Use it as a point of departure for reference to ship logs.

Thanks to all. Staff Monos are awesome for Home Water ops. Too bad no 1918 vol.. Wonder if there is a initial draft somewhere.

No. There are some technical histories in ADM 275/20 which certainly contain source material for the 1917 volumes and of course summaries of coast activities in various Auxiliary Patrol war diaries covering 1918.  It just depends what you are after and which locale the action took place.  You could usefully examine ADM137/4142-4150. Equally consistent is the Admiralty Controlled Book C.B. 01486 O.X.O. which details the actions between “Q” Ships and U-boats throughout the war ( ADM186/430).
