You need to keep a good eye out for planes of course, and there is the usual lot of torpedo boats and ASW trawlers out there, but if you keep it low and slow, they won't notice you.

Just keep an eye on depth under keel.... it really can vary in the strait, and quickly.

I, too, am growing to love 250 west of Gibraltar. On last patrol, at one point, I had an ore carrier, a large merchant and a passenger cargo all sinking within 10km of each other. Happy time, indeed!

Yeah Gibraltar is the perfect chokepoint due to the extreme narrow width of the entrance,herding the sheep into a funnel of death
