And in addition I already had three of David K Brown's books on warship design through the World War eras (to complement my Conway and Janes). In short, as you would expect, when a naval maritime designer recommends a naval constructor's book and says "it is good" then, it is good. One thing to shout out is that it does concentrate on the technical bits. WATU (Western Approaches Tactical Unit) is not mentioned (well not in the index - as I have just started reading it I might come across it yet). The Raspberry, Pineapple, Beta Search, Step Aside tactics are not mentioned.
For more details on these see:
Or see the BBC interactive game:
It "was" a great game but you need Flash 7 (a now deprecated multi-media scripting language) that most modern browsers have moved away from (aka uninstalled and blocked).
Update I: Some Flash games can still be accessed (there are clever people in the world):
Note: I have not (as yet tried this myself)
Update II: HTML5 WWII Games - Addictive ...
"Defenders of the Atlantic" is VERY ADDICTIVE

A friend (name withheld for legal reasons) informed me that the search terms "Atlantic Escorts" were not the best and came back with ... well never mind and suggested using - "Battle of the Atlantic Naval Escorts of WWII David Brown Amazon books" instead
Er, both worked fine for me?
