I concur with AVGWarhawk.
Have used most of to days to sneak pased one Hunt I and one patrol boat into Freetown.
Its May 1942 and pretty clear weather. It's very shallow waters (25 meters) but even thought the Hunt picked me up with ASDIC and made a couple of runs (lost me on the run in and came up behind me at the drops) i could sneak into the harbour at 2 kts.
And that was a nice sight.....a Troop Transport and a Medium tanker all tied up to the pier's. Soon the Hunt and patrol boat steamed into the harbour to look for me. But light had vanished like me. i backed out of the western harbour entry, surfaced and whamed out of there on the surface.
BTW - if you go to Freetown - be aware of the subnet. I ran straight into it on my approach where i tried to set up a post out side the harbour between some ankered merchants.
