"Might be..."? That's fascinating! Thanks for the link.

Early on the document talks about streamlined sonar domes upping the effective speed from 10 to 15 knots, but while it implies this happening prior to the US entry into the war it doesn't give specific dates for the actual adoption of the equipment, or for the British development of it.

It also claims that we were detecting surfaced submarines, and I've never heard that claimed anywhere. It would be interesting to find out more about this.
