The other advantage of diesel would be the time needed to get underway from a cold start.

Unusual tactics to counter unusual weapons: I would add USS Indianapolis going straight and fast to avoid the perceived threat of the human torpedo. The submarine got him anyway with regular Japanese torpedo as his course was right over the submarine's path.
IRRITABLE BOWEL from BF 1942
Q: logistics. The importance of logistics in WW2 (or any war) is often overlooked. Can you explain how at sea logistics takes place? Obviously getting to a friendly port is not always possible. How did the resupply of fuel, armament, manpower, airplanes and repairs take place?
Thank you Drach. A good selection of questions this week, hope you and the Sea Mine are keeping warm and well.
