I completely agree. I was merely making the observation that historical accounts that discuss tactics, albeit very good, do not address what modern submarine tactics are because they didn't have the technology during the 1st and 2nd WW's. It's a shame (but understandable) that there doesn't seem to be anything out there for us virtual sub skippers to use as a tactical reference. Of course there are the manuals developed by the various virtual fleets which are great resources but nothing "official"......at least for public consumption.
Might be nice to have the reading lists for the PCO and Perisher courses.

P.S. I'm really enjoying Admiral Bryants book Submarine Commander! Nice getting a British perspective of WWII submarine operations.
