Off the entire western coast of Ireland is also a high density area.
Good hunting!

Von Due, yes I have that map and I purposly chose to patrol the NW sections of the "BF's" area because it looked like there would be the potential for more contacts there.
During a previous patol I spotted lots of contacts in the Irish Sea so on my way back to Wilhelmshaven my patrol course was going to take me thru that particular area in hopes of adding to any tonnage I was able to sink in my patrol grid.
I was just concerned that my "qualified" sonar crew were missing contacts that were in BF 16, that I wasn't hearing. I know that the hydrophone range is more than double the visual contact range, but I have to admit to being a tad discouraged because of this "lack" of contacts.
