Ah now i understand, to not cause suspection in a possible u-boat that might obeserved them sailing up and down in the same area.

The Qship crew would actually role play when a sub appeared. They had crew whose only job was to run around on deck, look scared, jump upon the life boats and abandon ship. The whole time, the gun crews would spy upon the sub waiting it to get closer to spring their trap.
I'm of course familiar with the Q-Ships tactics but i didn't know that they have repaint the ship at night and builded some extra smokestacks.

So thanks for the info.
