Unknown target.

No doubt it was a sunken ship. What was strange, from the surface you could see the shape, rudder and prop, but an inch under water you say nothing. Guess the way the game programs a sunken ship over time.

You can go over it at flank and do no damage, but it takes a long time.
The rubbing causes sparks to fly all over. First I thought some electric shock, cause I've never seen it before.

See the sparks at the bow....pretty, ain't they.

LOL World of Seacraft... that was a power up !

Hey if you ever see a map marker that says "What is this!" make sure you check that one out.

If you can catch it.

It's a photo target.

In RL, submarines would NEVER have looked into a port to "take pictures" of ships. Recon missions were to take pictures of facilities (phosphate plants/docks), or beach defenses in advance of invasion, etc.

The game engine requires that a unit be a ship to lock it, and it requires a lock to take a picture. Since the game engine does not allow locking land units, there is an invisible object to take the place of what you should be photographing.

That explains it, was a photo mission, but my first one with RSRD.
