As far as able to fire the deck gun but not too sure about their "sea stability" .

The first time I saw one was near Dunkirk in 40' in very rough seas. I was following it in external cam & next thing I know it appeared to seem to dive below the waves. As I followed it down to about 30 meters I was thinking --these things can dive. But alas, I zoomed in a little closer & noticed the deck crew was gone & shortly after I watched it settle on the sea floor with the Nav Map showing a grey sunk icon. I guess it also falls prey to the shIII feature/bug? of other surface ships of chance of rough seas sinking it. (I like to think that it's little 'puter self was just trying to dive regardless of the game's limitations & the deck crew forgot to close a hatch )
