In GWX 3 there is a large net that stretches from the northern pier roughly NNW and screens the 3 cruisers and assorted destroyers moored to the north of the harbour.

However there is a gap between the pier and the net just large enough to slip through

I seem to recall a post a time back where a player was lamenting that he didn't get credit for a battleship he sank in Gibraltar, because the water it settled it was too shallow for it to sink fully. I guess the moral of that story is aim for the ammo bunkers and try to destroy any major warship you find in shallow water instead of going for a simple flotation kill.

Have hit the Nelson in there before,
Aim for under B turret and she'll go up

Haven't seen any mines when I've been in there but then I normally cross from the vicinity of Getares (why does the battery there in neutral Spain fire at me ?) aiming for the long pier jutting to the west
