Honestly, do icebergs sound remotely like merchant ships??

Actually, you were tracking four merchants who were traveling in a convoy.. up north... and after they ran into SEVERAL snow squalls.

Did you think to check under the ice for the screws ?

Having seen movies of surface ships and subs operating in the North Atlantic I can imagine this could happen. Some of the episodes of Victory at Sea had images of these powered "icebergs"

brrrrrrr

Actually, I think it would be possible for an WWII era submarine to mistaken iceberg as an sinking ship. I've seen few documentaries and while the icebergs might look silent and just peacefully floating around, they make quite alot of noise. Mostly cracking sounds and whines. I did a quick search on youtube, only found this one clip:

Nice one Jim.

I'd imagine that the ice ship would have an interesting sinking mechanic.
