Following that is a section on tactics, by the same commander. The final section is a write up, again by the commander, on the fire control problem and the equations needed to hit a target with a torpedo.
Basically, the manual has stuff that you would need to go hunt down on the internet these days.
Exclusive content in the game I find to be unfortunate. I'm also wondering if this iron box they mention is going to be shaped like a coffin.

Hear, hear! Nothing beats those old DOS game manuals. Even Silent Service for the Atari 800XL had a nice section on sub tactics if I remember correctly. Why those 200 page manuals turned into 50 I have no idea. Probably a money thing (as usual).
Nice idea about the coffin but a little morbid no?
