Default so Portsmouth anyone?

Well last night i was near this port and i decided "hey I wonder what the hunting grounds are like here?" So on the way i came across two ships. 1 tanker and 1 tramp steamer which i killed. So after this encounter i set course for that little inlit on the way in to the port, hoping to catch ships going in and out. Well luck would have it there were around 3-5 ships in a line according to my SO. It was night and pitch black when all the suddden 3 elcos and 2 armed trawlers come my way. I spent over 19 hours game time trying to get away from these things. well i got away and had to return due to unsafe damage. I guess my question is is have anyone been in this harbour? I hope to try some day going harbour jumping. BTW i am running GWX now and it is great. i cant get over it.

Sounds realistic to me. Portsmouth was the Royal Navy's main base, and no u-boat ever dared to go near it. It should be deadly every time if it's done right.
