Just like Hitler's Uboat war, only for the british (Churchill's Uboat war???)
Sofar I've only found technical reference books and narrations on individual subs (HMS Upholder mostly).
I pretty much know everything about Uboats, and some stuff about US Submarines (thanks to "Silent Victory") but almost none about brit subs.
I'm not aware of a single source i'm afraid. This one is going to require research and cross referencing.

Its nowhere near the detail you want, but a feel for the time can be gained from One of our Submarines by Edward Young
