U-boats vs destroyer escorts : the Battle of the Atlantic /Gordon Williamson.
"Winston Churchill claimed the 'U-boat peril' was the only thing that frightened him during World War II. The U-boat was developed from a small coastal vessel into a state-of-the-art killer, stalking the high seas picking off merchant convoys, until the introduction of the Destroyer Escort and other specialized escort vessels, and the development of dedicated anti-submarine tactics provided a means of defence and attack against the U-boats. Gordon Williamson describes the design and development of these deadly opponents, their tactics, strengths and weaknesses, weaponry and training. He provides an insight into the lives of the Royal Navy, United States Navy and Wolfpack crews as they played their deadly games of cat and mouse on the high seas, gambling with their lives and the fate of the war."--Jacket.
