So far though, luckily, I havn't caused an "international incedent". I stick to ships that I absolutely can tell aren't neutral. I usually follow ships until night and then if they aren't lit up.. I take them out.

Sad to say, but colour blindness would probably close the way to naval career in most armies, as colour is crucial not only for reading flags, but also signal language and maps. That however doesn't mean you won't succeed in commanding a U-Boot, once you are one. Have you consedered transfering to the Far East flotilla? Their flags are so much simpler than European to read, that you'll probably never need to think about colours.

It's always interesting to see where some of these posts go - we started with difficulty identifying flags and ended up discussing possible future wars in Europe.
Guess that's what makes subsim so addictive!
