Who says Blackout dicipline isn't required?
I was motoring to close in on a small canvoy, still about 6km away.
Bright clear calm night, lookout calling contacts as they close. Me clicking "Maintain orders".... We've got time for a quick smoke, right?
One of those contacts was a verry annoyed V&W.
From astern. At 36 kts.
At least we went quick, and didn't have to sink 1000m.
