It would seem to me that the lighthouses would be more of an aid to the Luftewaffe than to the Kiegsmarine, in that in a u-boat, your line of site visability is going to be limited to the curvature of the Earth. And that getting THAT close to an enemy coast line, you're going to do so submerged (unless you have a death wish).
Good charts and a decent navigator, and staying many miles away from the coast lines should negate the need for a navigational help like lighthouses. To me, that would only be a partial aid in verifying where you are.
As a u-boat commander, I'll stay well away from the coast line thank you, and stick to waiting for merchant shipping in the sea lanes coming from and going to the ports.
Unless I get bored and feel like a port raid. (this is normally when my crew starts to panic and mutter about mutany, until Benard get's them all together for yoga to calm their nerves!) :rotfl:
