"Operation Mahan" is all I'll say about it right now (WPP, by the way, was "Operation Bywater").
Oooo... "Operation Mahan," eh? There's a lot that could be done in the pre-WWI/Great White Fleet dreadnought era: an "early WWI" Anglo-German clash, an American-whoever clash. A game with a few A vs. B variants might be interesting...
