If the water is quite shallow, the ship won't sink 'totally', it will probably remain rendered and you'll likely not get the "She's going down" message.

Stay away from Newcastle or HMS Toon will get ya!! http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Yeah, sub commanders couldn't decide on their own to raid a harbor. On the other hand, commanders in SHIII can't recieve orders to do so. If you do go, just be careful. There was a skipper (me) who just last week got sunk in Hartlpool on his second patrol, by a single destroyer. Just lookin' to burn his last two torpedos. Word is, it was the time compression that gave him away.
