I was near Gibralter in late 1940 sitting slow and siltent listening or hydrophone contacts when suddenly a merchant was approaching at medium speed.
I intercepted it and had a look through the observation periscope. I didnt take the time to positively ID it but im fairly sure it was an empire freighter.
at any rate, it had this beautiful red hull! i had never seen a red hull in SH3 like this one, it was a vibrant red like it had just been painted.
Well.... to make a long story short, my grandfather was a merchant marine, and he was the captain of a ship, similar to the one i had in my cross hairs.
but what struck me most... the boat he spent a lot of time aboard was a red hulled ship... the same striking vibrant red color as this one i was targeting in SH3! it was as if the color scheme was hand picked and modeled after my grandfather's ship.
i could not bring myself to fire a salvo at her, and i watched as the beauty sailed by.
