Now... that's not exactly a low profile now is it? Am I missing something?

It seems to me the human eye and certainly radar would pick up a Gato ten times easier than a U-boat...

:hmm:
The large conning tower was pre-war design, as the war progressed the conning towers were cut down to get a smaller profile.
I think this will be modeled in SH4 as well.
