I pulled a patrol in the channel and was warned about the possibility of mines. I watched closely and sure enough there were mines. I layed submerged at parascope depth at the edge of the mine field and tracked lone merchants into the field, most didn't make it. Then watched a convoy come down through the channel and watched 1/3 to 1/2 hit mines and sink.
The convoy actually cleared a path through the mine field and I finally proceeded North up the channel. Submerged at 20m with the scope up just out of the tube to see forward and jocky through the field. Was real glad I didn't have to go out the way I came in.
