I remember finding a book in a college library quite a while ago that was titled something like:

The Proceedings of the Anti Submarine Detection Investigative Committee. It was full of the history and names of the developers of Asdic from the prewar years. Had diagrams of the quartz crystals and circuits etc.

I think it even mentioned other names for the group like The Allied Sonic Detection Investigative Committee. So there. :p We are no closer than before.

"and even if the committee wasn't actually called A.S.D.I.C. we all know how much the military loves its acronyms"

True, True
