Here I am, 800 Nm SW of Cork, trailing a convoy I attacked 3 hours ago. All stop and listen on the hydrophones. I decide to do a full sweep just in case. What do I hear? A sub's electric screws due north of me. Now I'm worried, it's pitch black up top, 01:22 (May 1941) so a few hours to dawn. Can't risk surfacing as I cannot see my hand in front of my face. Wonder if my shadow is German or British?

I'm very scared....

Out of eels and can't load externals. I managed to creep up on it (subs are VERY hard to spot, even when you know where they are). Turned out it was a VIIC on its way south (to Lorient, I imagine). Love SH3 for this sort of thing.

Has anyone spotted the Leonardo da Vinci?

Is it in GWX?

I don't think the Marconi-Class is in GWX.

From what I recall the only italian subs in GWX are the Adua Class, a 600 type mediterranean boat.
