British ship in a German port?

[ddot]

Hello submariners:D

I'm playing GWX, and it's 1941. Everytime I go through the Kiel canal, at the West end there is a British ship (a tanker of some sort I believe) in that little port along with German ships. I don't remember when it started showing up there, but it's there consistently now, everytime I pass by to/from a patrol.

First time I saw it I initially left it alone, thinking maybe it was a captured ship or something(?). Then a couple Stukas showed up and bombed it. They damaged it, but it didn't sink. So I backed up, got into a firing position and sunk it with a torp (no deck gun, type II).

It dosen't seem very sporting to kill a sitting duck like that so I leave it alone now.

Can someone enlighten me as to why it's there?

If you get renown for sinking then go ahead, unleash the torpedoes, sitting duck or not :yep:

Traitors!:o

Sink them! Mr Churchill is counting on you.:D

Sitting duck tanker should go with a few close range well placed
waterline shots from the DG save the torps for sport.
call it gunnery practice while leaving port.

Now that I upgraded to a VIIC last night, I may do just that :D

Isnt the Kiel canal classed as a neutral area?

I might check that out, easy tonnage! I snuk into Scapa flow tonight in my new shiney type VIIB, a bit dissapointed to only find a troop transport at the end :damn:, I was hoping for a BB or at least something worth more than 8k. Half of my torps were duds too I was fuming lol. I only got 16k for a whole patrol!!!!
