I recently was patroling in bad weather, very poor visibilty, and at night. I managed to put down a contact by sonar only and afterwards, when I looked at the nav map, the ship symbol was grey. It made we wonder if I just sunk a friendly. Then I wondered some more. I've never come across a friendly/neutral boat, other than near base. Are there any out there ? Has anyone else seen one? I once came accross a friendly sub, but if I remember correctly, I was on my way back to Midway and while I was not within sight of Midway, (after thinking on ot) it was probably within a certain circumference the game uses for friendy shipping. Can anybody answer this definitively? BTW, I'm running TMO & RSRDC.
