check it.

germans would build merchants and dress them up like allied shipping,only they were fitted with guns which were used to capture or sink real allied merchant vessels.

as if the uboat arm wasnt bad enough.

dirty pool.

not to be confused with the kind where you're swimming and you relieve yourself in because you're too lazy to go to the restroom either.

supposedly one of the most infamous was coded by the british admiralty intelligence as the "C" ship raider..personally responsible for alot of chaos and death on the high seas.

The was also Kormoran.That fought the HMAS Sydney. Resulting in both being sunk.

Merchant raiders is an interesting idea. They would do well against unescorted merchant ships? But what if you ran in to an enemy task force or the escorts from a convoy? I think it would be pretty much game over at that point.
