Decks Awash/Hull Down.

Been playing with this during the afternoon watch(means I'll have the Middle!). It appears that on the standard depth gauge in SH4 you can get the boat to 32-33ft. However you go through the Dive sequence and the bridge is cleared of personnel. But lo! The TBT or Binoculars can be used. So I have taken it that its just the Skipper "up top" still able to con the boat. Decks Awash/Hull Down was a well tried and used attack proceedure both in the Atlantic and the "Far Flung" (Far East) particularly at night, the boat presenting an absolute minimum target aspect for "keen eyes" and Radar of escorts et al, yet affording more accurate TDC information.
