About 8-10 years ago I came across a website that talked about destroyer escorts and their role in escorting supply ships and the problems and solutions they applied when coming across a u-boat attack and there was a part of the website that had this interesting little interactive flash game where it gave you a scenario with an overhead visual on the formation of the convoy and it essentially asked you which tactic/depth-charge pattern to employ against the u-boat, then it would play a short animation of your destroyers leaving the convoy, forming up and doing a depth charge run, then showed you the results and showed whether or not you made the right decision. I was wondering if anyone knows what that website was, cause I am interested in possibly making a sub management game. Thanks.

The Battle of the Atlantic lasted as long as World War Two itself. By the summer of 1942 one Allied ship was going down every four hours, yet German U-boat losses remained frustratingly low.
Play the game as a 'Senior Officer Escort'. In charge of the destroyers and corvettes tasked with defending the increasingly important convoys, you will need to learn about the tactics you can use to outwit German U-boats, and discover the strengths and weaknesses of both friend and foe.


I found this on an archived BBC website. I'm going to see if it still works and if it can be saved?
