1.      A/C homing will be carried out by H.M.C.S.  ST. THOMAS.  Senior Officer will take over upon R/T communication being established.  H.M.C.S.  “ST. THOMAS” is to confirm receipt of the signal ordering homing by V/S or TBS to Senior Officer.
2.      TBS/TBY routing tests at 0900, 1800 and 2400 daily, Senior Officer controlling.  TBY watch may be ordered at other times by the use of the code word “VODKA”.  Constant TBS watch is kept by the S.O.  (E).
3.      G.C.O. Art. 22  H.M.C.S.  STELLARTON.  (Merchant Ships not concerned).
4.      In order to avoid confusion between “Finguard” and “Misguide”, RIVIERE DU LOUP will use the call sign “TICKET”  from 10 West until Westomp, unless otherwise ordered.
Reference G.C.O. Art. 3, S.O.  (E) will be responsible for the ship or ships astern.  However, where support groups are stationed astern as part of the close or outer screen, the wing ships of our Group are to pass to adjacent ship of support force.
