Yeah that's one of the sites I've been looking at. Think I'll experiment with considering some of the grey boxes as contacts picked up in this way rather than submerging myself.

Every day they would perform a trim dive to ensure that the boat was balanced and the ballast was distributed correctly. So at least once a day they were going under. I'm sure they used the opportunity to listen for contacts.

Ya beat me to it Mookie.

I was thinking that as I was reading all the posts.

Daily trim dives are mentioned in all the books I have.

I would like to see this in SH5 as manditory every 24hrs or boat won't handle right.

Well my first real commander, Gus Kraus just got more realism than he bargained for. On his way back from AN59 after his third patrol, in which he bagged a 10k cargo and a 2k small steamer he got caught sunbathing on deck by a British destroyer, although he managed to submerge and try to creep away he never saw sunlight again. Hope the new guy has better luck!
