I was a big Fleet Command fan before moving over to SC and DW...
The big difference is that FC concentrates on the strategic aspect of naval warfare while SC/DW model the tactical aspects of a single platform... in FC you just really direct your assets, assign targets, from a strategic point of view and don't worry about the specific operation of every platform. DW is the opposite, it concentrates on the specific operation of a single unit and models every nut and bolt of that ship. Its takes a lot of learning to be any good.
I've had SC for a year and DW for a few weeks and I can still barely play it without autocrew... granted I don't exactly dedicate my life to learning the sim, but it takes more effort to play than any other game I know of.
If you aren't sure if you will like DW or not just go look for Sub Command... you can probably get it for about $9 if you can find it and that will give you a good idea of how DW works. DW is essentially the same game but with upgraded graphics, more platforms, and better campaign.
