I grabbed this today at 80% off the cover price in the Helion Publishing Summer Sale. I've thought about it as a naval project in 1/3000th scale and even filled out a Navwar order from for the required warships, but then Navwar went out of business and I shelves the planned project. Navwar are now back up and running, so this is now a feasible project for next year, making another book for the library a worthwhile use of my pocket money. Excellent!
Jim, you may want to have a look here:

At the bottom are links to parts 2&3 and some other stuff of interest. I wrote them sometime ago and have since obtained more books with better info. The old Magweb content is available on the main site.

Another really useful recent book on the SCW at sea is Leonard R Heinz's "The fleet that fought itself: the Spanish Navy and the Civil War 1936-39" (Seaforth, 2025), which perceptively draws on a range of Spanish and British primary sources. Italian primary sources are reflected in Robert Mallett's "The Italian Navy and fascist expansionism" (Frank Cass, 1998); not sure if there's as much detail from German or Soviet sources.
