I ask because while I love history as much as anyone, the majority of that information is hindsight, and no WW2 captain had anything like that.
Not meaning to be negative. I'm more curious than critical.

There is 2 project developed here, booth will be part of TDW UI. SOAN is a recon manual that we try to extend it with more detailed info about the ships. This is the hard part because the info should be about the class, not a particular ship from that class. And getting info about the class is harder than getting info about a single ship. Is the main reason why I asked for help, I did not expected to be so hard to gather this data.
Also, we dont stop at 45.. we kinda skip the role play part and the info will not be cut off if is more available. Not sure about this part.. but some ships/class had a very interesting story after the war period so maybe is good to have it included.
The second part is the Library. It will be an application where those who love the ww2 literature can read books about famous ships, captains, tactics etc. It was an old dream of mine.. put on the gramohone, having the engine working in the background then get lazy and have some nice lecture while waiting for a target. There is so many things to read about and most of us dont know a lot of things about the u-boot warfare and how things happened in Atlantic at that time, so now is time to set up a nice Library where anybody can contribute. Also is a way to have a tribute and remind on those who fought and lost lives in ww2.
This is an open project, everybody is welcome to join in. Right now, until the library is done, we work on SOAN. Trevally is working to gather data for the tankers I try to finish the merchants. I thought the merchant fleet will be easy.. NOT. Just gathering data about the C1-B class is a major pita. When the Library application and a template will be done, there will be also a lot of room to contribute with various lecture.. so this will be something in continuous development.
