btw...historians know historians...and though he served in the pacific he specializes in German U-boats. I'm not gonna look up anything...I wasn't doubting your facts, I was mocking your acceptance of realism based on Blair's reports. Clay Blair has been a contested voice in World War two history for quite some time now. Most of what he has said reguarding the patrols and tactics of the British Navy are completely false...and have been corrected by both the British government and former British admirals.
Blair is not the know-it-all when it comes to submarining and tactics at sea. He wrote good books with fictionalized aspects based on his personal experiences.
YOU are welcome to look up anything I just said.
Though I am not a NAVAL historian...I don't try to be because I have some personal connections with submarining.
