I tried to sneak into Portland a few days ago in mid 1940 with the Campaign-Files of LSH3 and GW (the Rest). Thats where that thing with the Battleship happens. Except this it was quite exciting......mit those mods there are about 2 Liners in that harbour, 3 Troop Transports, a few cruisers and in the middle a Carrier and a Battleship.
(Realistic placement, t think, looks just like that one day on my vacation a few years ago, when a US-Carrier-Group made a stop at Funchal Harbour, Madeira, claiming the whole inside of the Port for itself with the Carrier and and 2 Ticonderoga-Cruisers)

Anyway, what really was fun was that it felt a bit like in that Stealth-Games like Hitman. I sneaked in unnoticed, passing by a T3-Tanker at the harbour entrance and gave it a little greeting from my aft tube.
It exploded immitiately, now this obviously caused panic as the WHOLE HARBOUR WOKE UP, about 5 or 6 Destroyers, Trawlers and Corvettes startet searching for me.

I still torpedoed the Carrier and the Battleship, with the Carrier sinking and the Battleship doing that annoying laying on the seafloor mentioned above.

And by the Way: I survived, but my boat was junk afterwards, "red" conning tower, aft tubes destroyed, flodding......
