Looks like shes getting the skills for when the jig is up Anne Marie might, might, be able to survive and patch together a life worth living. Itll be tough though
If so, probably not in France.

She's currently a triple agent, right?Looks like shes getting the skills for when the jig is up Anne Marie might, might, be able to survive and patch together a life worth living. Itll be tough though

The unprofessional resistance think she's a collaborateuse who they will murder if they aren't happy with her spying on her German lover (although they are happy with her chicken feed).
The Gestapo think she is a collaborateuse who is infiltrating the unprofessional resistance so they can pass disinformation and eventually shoot them all.
Hopefully she has managed to pass these facts on to her normal (rather more professional) network or her Communist country doctor lover, because if there isn't some way of proving that she was a French mole already, she's not going to have her head shaved, she's going to the guillotine after the Liberation, particularly if the unprofessionals are all taken by the Gestapo and shot. In which case there's a decent chance she will be shot along with the rest of them, or perhaps just lightly tortured before being released with orders to infiltrate some more Resistance cells next, in the hope that even if they just murder her at least her Gestapo minders might catch someone going for their Judas goat.
Or she's going to have to try to end up with a career in the DGSE after the war, which I suppose at least avoids the chop but is still very much no fun.

IOTL Germany was supplying the Italian Navy with influence mines from 1941 onwards. Seems the same here - I don't think Italy made their own.No one saw nor could have seen the pressure mine laid by an Italian submarine a week ago.
Boston, September 17, 1942
Elaine relaxed. This was an odd social event but the gangly, Irish ensign had asked her if she wished to go to a ship transfer ceremony. He had met her at the MIT lab doors moments after her shift had ended and they hurried to the street cars to head to Quincy.
Finally, the speeches were completed and what had been a US Navy ship was now the first of her class in the Royal Navy, HMS Bayntum. In form and intent, she was a repeat of the successful Hickory class gunboats with diesel engines and a slightly different armament. She had three three inch guns to scare away aircraft and sink surfaced submarines. A large box was on her B position covered in canvas while half a dozen depth charge stations were mounted around her stern. A dozen sisters were in various stages of construction. They would all head to the Royal Navy’s operational control once completed.
As the young friends left the ceremony, they ambled to a restaurant for an evening of talking over a few drinks and then some dancing as that is what friends did, of course?

If that came about than a charming Irish ensign serving in the RN assigned to an escort vessel based out of Boston may bring about a Dear John letter. Poor Patrick.
She may be wanting wham bam thank you ma'aming.Or Elaine gets the "Wham, bam, thank you ma'am" treatment from her charming ensign; and both Patrick and her are worse off.
The charming Irish ensign is in the USN (the equivalent RN rank would be sublieutenant).
There isn't really an RN equivalent - the closest would be midshipman. Sub Lieutenant is equivalent to Lt j.g.
She is a fertile Myrtleif I remember correctly, Elaine doesn't have to worry about getting pregnant...and could the Ensign be Joe Jr.?
Thanks ... I saw that
but I was commenting on her Glory in OTL.
She of all the veterans built for the "War to End all Wars"
but who were woken from a slumber to serve again as best they could did not
go gentle into that good night
nor quietly as the the plagiarists have popularised it.
Which heavy cruiser is this? New Orleans or Wichita?The heavy cruiser responded like the destrier she was.
Not sure. Half of pacFlt cruisers went with Spruance, the other half are with the carriers. I just wanted to show an intensive training regimeWhich heavy cruiser is this? New Orleans or Wichita?
