Naval War Colledge Review Article and the Western Approaches Tactical Unit WATU

It is some time since I posted anything naval wargames related, as I have been otehrwise engaged recently. But I was browsing the latest issue of the Naval War College Review recently when I came accross an article [1] tangentially related to naval wargaming as it was using the Western Approaches Tactical Unit as an example.

I have mentioned WATU in a previous post https://navalwargames.blogspot.com/2018/08/western-approaches-tactical-unit.html where there is a link to a pretty good paper from the Military Operation Research Soc.

In Sloans paper he discusses WATUs analysis of U-boat apprach and attach tactics against convoys.
