Beware of anything Ed P. Hoyt has to say. He is notoriously known for making factual mistakes.
I once bought a used Hoyt book, and whoever had it before corrected all of Hoyt's mistakes. I'm not kidding when I say that almost every page had a correction.

Yeah im begining to judge his writing as well i read this from his Uboat wars book: Quote: From a submariner's point of view it was better to sink a destroyer than a battleship, even better to sink a freighter. That was what the battleship men found hard to understand.
???... Surely a battleship going pass with a destroyer escort the uboat captain would take out the battleship and worry about the destroyer later. I know merchants was the main targets to uboats, but they would never let a Battleship go by.
Another is i found his chapter on the sinking of the Royal Oak by Prien way different compared to a lot of other versions ive read on the sinking. Ive read many uboat books and this one is a first where im begining to have doubts on the author
