I let one go

[GoldenRivet]

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.

Bdu won't be happy herr Kaleun, imagine what would happen if all merchants had a red hull.

It's ok GoldenRivet, I called the guys with the white jackets, they should be there soon!

Well,
I was not an Empire unless you have some mod installed.
There's only one unit simiar to the Empire that uses a Red Hull.
And NO!!
I'm not going to tell you what it is!!

The Recognition Manual is your friend!!

but here (shuffles around) let me get my hard copy manual and have a look.

(more shuffling)
