As for advice, I'd say that this is suicide, but I wouldn't say impossible.

You can try the "are you mad" trick and go in flak speed surfaced or the sneaky sneaky submerged trick. Or better yet turn around while you still can, damage your boat on the way home and tell Deonitz that you tried but sustained heavy damage and could continue.

But I really think you should try, I'm itching to hear your story and I hope you make it out alive.

Good Hunting

Piece of cake.

Use your Klingon cloaking device. No wait wrong......nuts.

Never mind.

Advice: like someone mentioned earlier, surface some where safe to recharge and stuff. Once that's done, go out further into the ocean to test how far and how long you can stay submerged. It's a good idea to know the limits of your boat before attempting something as daring as this. Once you know these two factors then you are ready to go. Use your new data to measure the farthest point to submerge and farthest point to surface. Staying submerged is your safest bet. You can use you sonar to track any income patrols and know where to turn or when to stop or when you think it's safe to go at a higher speed under water. I recommend that you stay on silent run for the duration you are underwater. I did this once, but that was up at Dover Strait earlier in the war. Gibgraltar is very different but the same tactics should work, with some luck of course.

So I say all the best to you Kaleun

Thnx..
I think that my big mistake was that I attacked (and sunk) one of them before entering the strait of Gibr. Now I have 7 ships above me (at 150m) waiting .. close to Africa..

You got a point here... I think the only difference between a German WW2
U Boat and a Bird of Prey is the cloacking device and propulsion... ;-)
Some Klingon music parts sound the same as of Das Boot (the Gibraltar scene).
