If I remember right, there are 2 currents running thru the Straits of Gibralter. The surface current runs into the Med from the Atlantic, and the deep current runs out of the Med into the Atlantic.

So a u-boat entering the Med would go surfaced or at shallow depth, one leaving would go deep. If you tried to reverse this the current would be too strong and you'd get nowhere fast...

Don't know if these currents are modelled in SH3 or not...
