A "football" field away is 90 meters or so. In an VIIB, you are in a 66 meter boat. If your "sighting" is 90 meters away, it is about 55 meters from your bow. And if you are traveling at 4 knots, you will collide in 24 seconds.
Since you need at least three football fields of visibility to set up a shot -- unless you want to shoot into murk -- I'd say "a football field" is about as much fog as you want to encounter.

My fault, I meant it seemed like a football field to me, it in reality must be over 4 or 5. I was able to sit in the middle of a convoy with poor visibility and see ships on both sides of me and probably a couple down each row, with what was definately more between them and me than the length of my type VIIB
