That's a valuable piece of info. Unfortunately they still seem very capable of cueing this ASW trawler in on me, if memory serves me right and there are a few of those.

As for the searchlights, I was 3000 meters away, decks awash when I dove 90 minutes before sunrise. It was a concern but I gambled and it payed off with nice pics and slightly better approach speed.

Sun has risen now and I'm attempting a 0.45 knots 25 RPM scouting for nets around the last two biggies.

I just hope these destroyers are all listening.... I really need to stop gamble at some point.

EDIT
Adding to the searchlight bit. I have spent 3-4 hours observing from a distance their search after I hit the first two and they seem obsessed with searching a small-ish area, eyeballing it I try to stay away from that area with about 2500 meters safety distance.
