The seven listed pages below were added to the web extracts after the publication date (1998) of the original edition of the book, "Joining the War at Sea, 1939-1945." These may be thought of as Reader Feedback appendices 1-7 respectively. Purchasers of the published book are invited to download any one of these pages that seemed especially relevant to the published book buyer's interest. Additional material is still (2009) being added to these pages.
