Thank you
When i am near the friendly shores, I navigate at surface, but as soon as I arrive on the high seas, I become increasingly careful, and alternate let's say 30 minutes at surface, and 3 hours under the water. When I got near the enemy coast, and especially in busy areas, I stay all night under the water, sailing at minimum speed.

One day, i was sailing at surface at 150 km away from the english coast, i gave order to go to periscopic depth, and immediately, my hydrophone man said : warship spotted, short range, 330 degrees ! That was a british destroyer ...
