Shipping
Still i picked it up to learn about the history of the ship and was rewarded with a good read that i enjoyed thoroughly
The british navy was persistent and followed the ship in very poor weather conditions
It is interesting that in the latest tech that the ship was probably scuddled by her own crew
Packaging/appearance
It is an easy read but it gave me the amount of detail i was looking for as to the sinking of the bismarck
Competitiveness
Forester even if he knew of the bletchley park successes would not have been free to include this information in his book
Could not have happened to a more dangerous foe
