the USN did not think highly of the german wolfpack doctrine with all actions controlled by a landbased commander...perhaps because they were worried about their codes being broken, much as they had broken the german and japanese codes.
the USN, starting in 44, went with small 3 boat wolfpacks, under the control of first, a senior officer and later on, the senior skipper, leaving it to the on the scene skippers to direct the action.
would be nice to have that in SH4..
