Anyone tried using the hand-torches for visual signaling between U-Boats in an MP at night while surfaced?

Would also be good if we could turn on the nav lights on the boat (they're present in the visual model). I know it would be strange mid-combat to switch them on, but when we get ports, would be good to have them so we can operate realistically while in port as well.

Did the U-Boats in the 1940s have the ability to signal through the periscope as well?
