Remember this, it's a very shallow water in the bay 4 mtrs only

Sounds like there was some juicy targets there - but I don't think I'm going to risk my DiD career at the port of Gibraltar The other thing about port hunting that bothers me is the issue (mentioned earlier) that sometimes ships don't sink in harbour - like they submerge partially and then rest on the bottom without registering a 'kill'. Also, I imagine a harbour sinking gives tommy a good chance to pull her up again and restore her. Best is to put a BB down in >1000m of water!

Exactly right. Here's an account of the salvage of West Virginia after the Pearl Harbor attack: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/e...hbr/ph-wv9.htm

"Much of her port side had been ripped open by as many as eight Japanese torpedoes, and her rudder had been blown off by another... USS West Virginia rejoined the active fleet in July 1944 and took an active part in the Pacific War's final year."

I think it has 15 or 16 meters because I stay at periscope depth without problem, I enterend in Scapa Flow but there I can't find a passage trough nets and I get out. I tested the ideea to enter in a harbour, but is a cheat because you don't know real positions of nets or mine, normally use external view.

Prien entered in Scapa Flow thanks to a spy who notice the gap between two ships and that entrance it isn't guard by RN, altought no regular subs enter into harbour (italian and english use small subs to enter in Gibraltar, Alexandria and Norway fjord). But it is a game and anything it is possible.
