The Crisis of the Naval War

An officer's first-hand account examines Admiralty reorganization and the Royal Navy's operational response to a severe submarine campaign, detailing anti-submarine tactics, the introduction and practical working of the convoy system, aircraft and escort cooperation, patrol and minesweeping services, and the Dover and Harwich forces; administrative chapters explain staff structures and production at the Admiralty, while plates, charts, and operational vignettes illustrate tactics and outcomes and the volume closes with assessment of the sequel and implications for future naval work.
