yes you do!
floating, the RN will hunt you. :hmmm:
diving, the Mines might nuke you.:06:

avoid the channel... :know:

I sunk them all. :O: :haha:

Okay...
The channel is safe just follow these rules.
1) Stay close to France
2) Don't worry about mines, if you hit one it will be too late to worry.
3) PT boats are fast but have no sonar, if you see one, dive and wait for them to pass, move fast and change coarse.
4) Don't get into fights, you'll be sunk before they are. Shadow them till your outside the channel, then good luck.
5) Avoid the channel on your return trip. It forces you to scout out the rest of Britten and it saves you some head aches.
6) Take your time, treat these waters like the waters of a port, because they are.
7) Stay close to France, no kidding its better then hugging the British Coast. Hiding under their noses doesn't work, trust me.
8) Sink the battle Ship near the British side of the channel. Yes I know everything I just told you would stop you from doing this...But its 36k tons and a whole slue of awards.
8) Good Luck. Though not technically a rule, you'll still need it.

Straits of Dover is like one 50 miles long stretch of harbor waters.
