I have a wood lifeboat stuck to my bow. I can dive, turn hard, ect, it's stuck. Have been on patrol with it for two days now...First time for this.
The only thing I did different was sink it before I ran over it. Guess I'll take it back to port with me and refit it as a fishing boat.

Stayed there the whole patrol. My guess is after I sunk it even though it shows, it doesn't register as there. Torps would go right through it.
It was removed for the next patrol....

This is kinda like the old "smoke on the water" issue whereby if you saved near and soon after sinking a boat, the smoke would follow you around until patrol's end.

Bah, this is nothing.
It is said that in 1940 (I think) one of Polish submarines, while returning from a patrol to its base in Britain, found a barrage baloon, just floating near the surface. The crew tied it to the bow and carried on. Some time later a British escort spotted a peculair tandem, of an unidentified submarine towing a barrage baloon. Alarm was sounded but it soon became clear the boat is allied. The escort sent a message to the submarine: 'Since when submarines feel the need to fly?'
