Sometimes I see a lobby is in progress, but I can't find any of the players on discord, and therefore can't learn the password needed to join their boat or game, depending on the settings they've applied for the lobby and boat.

Suppose that from the lobbies screen you were able to contact any or all of the four U-boats in the selected lobby, then you were able to send them a morse wireless message which would arrive "from Bdu". The captain of the boat could then respond to you via the radio-room's morse key, (and dialling a frequency to Bdu?) to tell you the passwords to let you in, or, could block you, so that if you were 'acting the goat' and pissing him off, he'd not receive any further morse transmissions from you that session... Or perhaps, if he really didn't want to be bothered with such transmissions, he could turn them off, which would immediately also be notified to anyone trying to contact him via this method.
