Here is a checklist of items of interest to DD.

Periscope showing
conning tower broaching surface
too much noise by screws and motors(2 knots max)
too much noise by crew (press Z and insure the little silent running screen is on.)
Submerging too late (you've been spotted)
Made sure not to do any of the following and had a warship pass with in 2km's of me and didnt even know I was there. Unfortunately it was the rear escort for the convoy and they were getting into shallow water near LondonDerry, so I passed on that hunt.

All I need to do now is work on my course calculations for intercepting a convoy....just need to find that page that had convoy intercept steps on it, using map tools.
