	"Simpson, Colin The Ship that Hunted Itself
	Stein and Day, 1977.
	German Cap Trafalgar and British Carmania, similar passenger
liners,
were
	converted into armed merchant cruisers at the start of the War.
They
	masqueraded as each other, and fought: Carmania sank Cap
Trafalgar.
"

My local library had a copy of this book.  It was a very enjoyable read
and
I would recommend it.
