Guys, have you read U-Boat Killer: Fighting the U-Boats in the Battle of the Atlantic by Captain Donald Macintyre
Macintyre was England's top U-boat destroyer during World War II, with seven kills and several captures to his credit. Here he offers his firsthand account of safeguarding convoys in the North Atlantic from roaming German subs. I do strongly recommend to read it. A magnificient book about the glory, gore, and stupidity of everyday struggle in the Battle for Atlantic Convoys.
Excellent reading, lots of insights into technical details of WWII ASW. Thumbs Up

I borrowed and read it once, about fifteen years ago.

I'm currently re-reading it - it's a truly superb book. In fact, it's one of my favourite WWII naval books.
