It's around the 22nd of March, 1940, and there are like 2 cities in Spain that have a blue label in their harbors, and 1 in France in Brest harbor.

What are these? I at first thought they were milk cow supply ships, but when I approached the Thallia in S. Spain, it was a Small Merchant vessel, and it didn't allow me to "docK". That being said, I haven't used any milkcows, so I'm not sure what's the deal.

I'm using Rub 1.45, HT, Hollywood and some smaller mods.

Thanks for any info

They are milk cows and you can "dock" like in every other harbor.

You would think that, but I eased up about 80m from one, and it didn't give me the EXIT PATROL option, nor any docking option.

These are german merchants which were "interned" (not really) in Spain, and served as supply bases for U-Boats. Like in Das Boot
:D

You were surfaced ?

No, didn't surface, but now that I think about it, I guess I should have tried that.

I'll give it a go when I get home tonight, hopefully, I can reload and continue my campaign of destruction.

One in Brest in March 1940??? That's one gutsy supply ship, sitting in the middle of an enemy port waiting for a U-boat to surface for supplies - I know the French weren't paying much attention to the German buildup for the May invasion, but isn't this a little extreme? ;)
