Quite frankly, if you're neutral and sailing through contested waters and you're not lit up like a Xmas tree, then you deserve what you get.

I know for a fact a number of Irish ships were sunk during the war by uboats. One or two were sunk while "light up like chrismas trees", weather conditions not known. I am sure some Spanish, Portugese, Irish ship owners during the war had to make similar decisions, just wonder what their decisions were.
Curiously, I never (I think) met a Spanish/portugese ship in SH3. Did anyone?
I think some neutral american ships travel amongst convoys (pre 41).
