You probably will have some explaining to do when you get back to port about the whereabouts of your ammo :P
My first encounter with icebergs disappointed me. The hydrophone picked them up first as 3 slow merchants.
My patrol had been dry so far, so i went for it.
As i got closer the map named them (Iceberg 1, Iceberg 2 and Iceberg 3).
To be honest, i thought those were ship names (thought even the might be icebreakers) since i never expected icebergs to be shown on hydrophone or named on the map in the same way as ships.

They are initially identified as slow moving craft because their drift speed is 5 knots IIRC but the name changes to iceberg (which is what they are) as soon as they move into visual range and you are able to make a positive id.
