But she had her guns hidden and was masqurading as a dutch merchant, I think that qualifies her as a Q ship in the context of a SHIV game (or SHIII for that matter) |
Yet she was rather over armed for a Q-Ship and designed as an Aux Cruiser rather than converted from a Merhant (had she been built as a Merchant Sydney would have sunk her quickly).
Very different beasts.

Your saying you'd sink all unarmed merchant with torps and never surface and deck-gun her??

Yeo, I assume all Merchants are armed.
