Third war patrol - Dec 1940 - 8 days and no merchants - Dec 26 Sound Man picks up a contact moving fast - close in for the kill, ID to be a small tanker, better check the flag and go to see its USA!

Lucky I checked !

I've had that happen all too often during the first few years of the war. It's somewhat common near the Azores and Canary Islands... many times I've gone after sound contacts only to find nice juicy tankers... flying Portuguese flags.

at least the stars and strips are quite noticeable from a far distance -
One thing I really like about this sim is the random element of a neutral contact :up:
