Then again, I might be thinking of something completely different since I never played the ATO.

what is ATO? and I only play stock but now I'm flight simming
Don't worry my allegiance is to the USN no doubt but in O'Kane's book, he mentions ULTRA so I figured it would be those contact reports or convoy reports from code breakers in Pearl / Midway / Brisbane area. I meant an actual stand-alone simulator, one that we could use and post contacts to a thread here like the KM's Enigma. A typing machine.

Yes this is what I meant. But only if we could start an ULTRA thread here, but I guess traffic differs from computer to computer hence at any point in the game, if one for instance reports a battleship force SE of Saipan at point in time X/X/1944 and another player is in the vicinity of this area at around the same point in time (X-1 day/X/1944) so I dont think the same user would spot the same convoy, or is it the other way around?
