However this was only after spending the prevoius 30 hours driving my boat round and round and round in circles to rotate my boat's radar.  The crew were most releived as they were getting very dizzy!  Sadly when we finally caught up with it, it was only an old coastal steamer that was hardly worth sinking, at least it wasn't neutral. |
you are talking about the FuMO 29
there are also several others in game, that rotate. the FuMO 30, 61, and 65.
