Actually, they didn't want anyone to know you were still sailing.

They were hoping to hide their shame

i have an eagle, and i never pick anything else, as the eagle brings me good luck...i have never had a bad patrol with it.

Mickey Mouse with the umbrella. When the survivors of a sunken ship are in the lifeboat and they see Mickey rising from the waves, they will be irritated.

Always the Laughing Devil for me, for the same reason as U-84 likes the Eagle, for good luck.

I like the iron cross with the swastika as well. Really because it is anti politicaly correct. I do anything I am not supposed to do. If a pink pony was considered bad I would have that on there.
