If you think the tonnage success out weighs the risk then go for it, but remember the crew/U-boat should never be put into a position that you are unable to use the U-boats strengths, depth, decoys, and vertical manoeuvrability are all jeopardised by raiding ports.

I actually like the challenge of harbor raiding. The shallow depth demands precise manouvering to remain undetected and there's a joy when spotting all the docked ships and buildings that I don't get in the open ocean.

As you can see I haven't given you a name of a harbour, two reasons, firstly I've never have/will raid a harbour, and secondly I won't be responsible for your U-boat and crew loss if you were KIA, MIA from the harbour name that I gave you.

Don't worry. I won't hold you responsible if my crew dies in a watery grave.

If you do get a name or two and you do penetrate the harbour and you do sink a large tonnage and you do withdraw and you do make it back to base, then I take my cap off to you and I'll buy you a beer at the Officers Mess.

Ok, it's a deal. Though I don't drink - can I have a soda instead?
