Night Light?

Just checking did submarines have external lights. It appears that the conning tower has what looks like a spotlight....

Certain times it is so dang dark that I can't see anything and would like the option to turn on a spotlight.

Yes, I believe they did. It does look like a light up there. If so it does not work.

No pun intended just a mere question, why would you want to give away your position like that?

I suppose a signal light with the shutters opened or taken off could be used as a small search light.

Not saying that I want to give away my location....

But here is an example.

I sink a enemy vessel that was straggling along by itself - at night. Since no other ship is around I shine my spotlight on those poor souls in the lifeboat while I use them as target practice

A Spot Light Would Come In Handy In The Fog When Looking For Surviors It Should Be Added More Realistic After All Dd's Have Them Right?
