Having done it (with the help of radar which makes it much easier), I have to admit that sinking a ship blind is very rewarding, but how realistic is it that a skipper would sunk an unidentified ship?
Maybe in certain locations the vessel would likely be a valid target, but even then, how would know it wasn't a hospital ship, or neutral? Did any skippers attack unidentified targets In the Pacific?
