Thanks, I've had a little test (using the posted fix) and I have a couple of notes. I haven't played DW in a while so please forgive any mistakes.

USNI for Los Angeles Flight III does not mention maximum speed like the others.
Is there a reason I cannot achieve flank speed (or more than about 17kn) in shallow water? To replicate please try the mission "Super Escort", though the problem is present in other shallow waters, using the Virginia & Los Angeles Flt.III.
AI seems to set "run to enable" poorly in a few quick missions I tried: I have witnessed my torpedoes overshoot an approaching sub (launched via main map with AI track correctly showing head-on course), and allied torpedos activate too early, causing misses in both cases. I understand this may well be a stock problem.
The dangerouswaters.ini file provided has a new entry ".SetEMCON Yes" under "[Cheats]", which seems to disappear after running the game. Is this correct?
I have previously used the entries ".PercentTorpsExplodeOnCM" and ".PercentDeadPlatformsIgnored 0" in the above file. Is this recommended?

Looks like I'll be playing RA again for a while in any case... re-learn the red book, the blue book, die a bunch of times and quit again.
