Tobruk, April 1942.
On the northern side of the harbour is a headland. Rule a line 2.8km from the furthest eastern side of this headland along the map line and you'll get the extent of a sub net. This net is very shallow and you will not be able to surface to get over it. You need to either surface next to the headland and use the shallow water there or go around the net to the east. No mines were seen.
Inside the harbour was a Troop Transporter, Medium cargo, 2 x Small tankers, Tramp steamer, LST, V&W Class, Tugboat and Small trawler (total around 25k tons).
Defending the harbour were a Tribal class and 2 x ASW Trawlers.
Overall, little risk but little gain.
