That leads to another really interesting part of the book. The radar/anti-radar tactics. A major problem in the St Lawrence for the Canadians was their lack of centimetric radar. That allowed the Germans to make several attacks unnoticed, including surface attacks with the decks awash. A neat little trick that isn't modeled into the game as far as I know. All the radar activity did scare the Germans into greater caution though, so it did have some value.
