My thanks to Andy 'Flight sim' Midgely for the following snippet of information extracted from his letter to me in March.

I am heavily into Navy Strike by Empire Interactive at the moment, work permitting, but spotted a flyer on this one and thought of you. Features include SVGA graphics, multiple map levels with greater detail, six scenarios, a full campaign option, soundtracks and even graphics ofthe equipment used in the battles. It has an operational level AI {Artificial Intelligence} by Roger Keating and Ian Trout and even a replay feature so you can relive your greatest triumphs {or disasters}.

It supports play by email, has an integrated move and fight combat system. This is said to be the first of a series of operational level games aimed at the newcomer and the devotee alike with the emphasis on exploiting the power of the computer to the full. With all this its going to need a 20486 CPU, a CD-ROM, sound, SVGA graphics and around 8 meg of memory. I have no clear price, as yet, but I would think its going to come in around 45.00 pounds which seems the going rate.
