Creeping speed. You burn less fuel.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

So the consensus on getting past the Straits of Gibraltar is a ten step plan:

1) Go in at mid-day;
2) In calm seas;
3) On the surface;
4) At all ahead slow;
5) With both periscopes fully raised;
6) Pinging regularly for depth;
7) With the gramophone blairing the hit song "Churchill is A Human Warthog"
8) Firing the deck and flak guns periodically;
9) Sending regular position reports to the British, coupled with chatty comments about their dubious parentage and bad dental hygiene;
10) And lastly, with a target symbol for my side emblem.

We should add this sage advice to the Wiki . . .

You forgot: 11) Have Bernard on watch with a megaphone.

12) Have your crew standing on deck in dress uniforms lined up in the shape of a giant swastika.

13) Fire off all flares.
