Well, I was hoping some old salts, preferably those who helped with the scripting in GWX3.0, might chime in.

I can't find a historical basis for it, so I was thinking it might be some sort of "in the know" Easter Egg, sort of like Swindon being dotted on the map of England, that's all.

But kudos, Missing Name, for managing to slip through the minefield barrage at exactly the right time and place to provide a "solution" to the mystery and document it. In five years of playing, it has never occurred to me to go tomcatting around Blyth on January 9, 1940 just in case Raeder found it in his head to mine there.

By the way, in another thread, you claim the screenshot is taken in February, 1940. Which is it?
