That looks really nice. I have wanted a successor to Great Naval Battles of the North Atlantic for a long time - hope this one fills the bill.

I have this for my iPad and it's a fun time waster....

I'm definitely looking at it even though it is lighter fare, but it interests me.

It is fun, and this version looks real pretty.... I'll probably get it too. O0

Is there a damage/repair feature at least? GNBNA had a great one.

From the game's manual:

5) Subsystem Damage Report
Subsystems of a ship may be knocked out for several turns or destroyed. Damage control crews automatically attempt to repair each damaged subsystem each turn. However
some specific subsystems as well as destroyed subsystems cannot be repaired.
Gray No damage
Yellow Light damaged
Orange Moderate Damaged
Red Destroyed
In Battle of the Atlantic game mode, destroyed subsystems as well as overall ship damage and flooding are permanent and can only be repaired by visiting a port

Ports:
2) Ships currently being repaired and rearmed
Status indicates the number of turns until work on the ship is complete. Once complete the ship becomes active and is released back into the zone. Bombing raids by enemy air forces can cause
delays to ships undergoing repairs/rearming. Number of turns required to repair/rearm based on ship size and damage amount.

Yes.... damage is fairly detailed in that damage gets allocated to specific ship components. You can for instance target the enemy ship's turrets to knock them out or target the stern to slow them down etc.

Repairs can be made to some systems during a battle not most have to wait until you can get to a port. Then the ship is laid up for a number of turns depending on how bad the damage is.

Also the enemy can bomb your ports, as random events, and thus slow down repairs. There are random events that have your forces bomb their ports as well.
