Gibraltor has to be my favorite spot in the game (although that enormous unprotected merchant fleet that sits in Halifax (believe that was the harbor, or closeby) at the end of that super windy river
is the ultimate turkey shoot), it has everything: Excessive use of force beyond the overkill level with ASW boats, plenty of convoys and large ships passing through, holes in the subnets to sneak through and take down the Rodney and a flat top if you're lucky (plus usually 4 london class cruisers), and hours of fun playing cat and mouse with the surface ships trying to figure out where the hell I am
- usually hiding under another merchant waiting for the right moment to slip out.
Rofl, that harbor is quite an attraction. Few times I've actually parked my boat there (literally like a merchant ship at one of the pier bearths) and been safe to do real time repairs.
Only have done so when the duck tape is barely holding things together and either the interior's become a nice cold swimming pool from massive flooding or the pressure hull will break staying submerged at periscope depth too much longer when every section of the boat's red.
Normally if the boat can be repaired back to some sort of sailing condition I've been able to make it out by heading due west or east then making a b-line to any real port; be it La Spezia or any French port. To actual dock the ship there to repair the hull I can only imagine how that situation would play out irl; I imagine the sailors might have the time of their lives
The locals would know that the second they leave the port waters every ship with a gun is going to be waiting for it. The town would probably throw a huge party to milk all the cash and any valuables from the crew knowing its going to be their last supper.
