Red pencil in nav map what for?

In the nav map, have you seen the red pencil "Support unit" that, can someone explain me what its that for?

Good question!!! I have been meaning to ask. You can select it but it does nothing other than look like a chewed up red pencil.

Just a guess, but maybe it was meant to modify map-marks...a feature that was promised in the manual - page 28 - of the original SH4, but somehow never made it into the game.

It does exactly what the text says: You can select the u-boat campaign support units with it. Click on the unit with the pencil, and you should be able to give orders to that unit.

Yes, when playing U-Boats you can call in both German and Japanese support ships, it also allows you to call upon Japanese reconnaissance aircraft from the marked airbases.
