I do not understand what you (or the author?) mean(s) with "other navies .. used electric, not Diesel".. surfaced with E-engines?

There was of course the option to add the electric motors to the Diesels, to go at 22 or so knots for a very short time, but i never saw this mentioned in surface attack reports.

And thanks for the book advice, will look out for it!
