Another funky idea.
OK, so everyone poo-pooed my idea of floatable radio transmitters to lure away bad guys, or allow a radio transmission to be sent out after the sub left the area.
But last night, after having escorts shooting at my exposed periscope, I had another fun though. What if the sub carried a bunch of external, weighted buoys that stuck out of the water looking like....a periscope!? Being pursued by escorts? No problem. Don't drop a noisemaker, drop a periscope buoy! I can just see the escorts and merchants having fits as there are twenty or so periscopes bobbing in the seas all around them!  Steve |

You are swimming in the area of speculative fiction. Add propellers to your flotascopes.

Too easy to deter the seals though, DD's would drop fish as decoys or have giant clubs fitted to the keel, goodbye Mr seal.

heheheh I just think it's amusing the thought of twenty periscopes appearing floating around in the midst of confused ships.
