I think this might violate Spain's neutrality...
 
I know combatant ships can remain in a neutral port for this 72 hours but allowing them to dry dock and repair their submarines is taking it to too far!!

And this had better be the German embassy or consulate right there on the pier that these guys are guarding

I took both the above pics in Las Palmas in the Canary Islands while stopping at the supply ship (GWX).

Unrelated to this, can anyone tell me what flag this is?

The flag is modern flag of Slovakia, ally of Germany during WWII. A landlocked country that has ships? :hmm:

I don't think sh3 takes much notice of neutrallity ok if you sink a neutral ship you get penilised,but apart from that anything goes,I don't know what its like in GWx because am based in the Far East but previously the RAF use to overfly spain to attack you in the atlantic you would have thought Spain would have shot them down,also read somewhere that Spain flouted it neutrailty laws in WW II

Yep, the crew and I all have nice suntans thanks to are friends in Spain, as for sinking neutral ships you are penalised on your renown but if you send a report to Bdu you get the message back.

Keep up the good work. :-?

It's just the radiomen must be impossibly stupid and they don't place in the report info that the ship was actually neutral...

If that under-construction sub and band-and-cheering-crowd are in a Spanish port, something is very wrong.

May be Spain has entered the war. :shifty:

Spanish spies might have stolen the german drawings of U-boats and are preparing to build a U-boat flotilla to give aid to us out there......:hmm:

Well , spain was "neutral"

Germany send to Franco general a lot of help during the spanish civil war, ... planes of the "condor legion" , ammo, tanks, and a u-boats were send to patrol the med against the republican fleet .

After ,in wwII, spain return some of help, and was near to enter in the war in the axis side. finally didnīt join, but allow u-boat ressuply in spanish ports,send the "blue division" to russian front , spy activities, and send wolframium to germany until 1944.

If you can read Spanish, this is a very interesting article explaining the reasons why Franco's Spain didn't join the axis, from a military point of view:

They don't just have any ships, they have whopping great large and medium tankers crawling all over the Caribbean in 1942.

And if they are allies of Germany they probably shouldn't be parked in British ports. I took the pic of the above flag in Bridgetown in the Caribbean.
