I was thinking about going into enemy ports. I read stories of some kaleuns using the anchor chains of enemy merchants to determine the tides and how they would affect the torpedo shots.

Now. I think it would be doubly cool if, lets say you were waiting outside a harbor...to watch ships come in and drop or weigh anchor as they entered or exited.

Where did you read that? Since the Germans only made one major and one minor harbor raid the entire war, that scenario seems unlikely.

This is a pretty cut and dry case of a repel boarders scenario that warranted the use of two Kar 98's and an unloaded MP 40.

Maybe use him as a decoy:

Look there Captain, a German u-boa... ah no it's just a polar bear. Relax all.

BAM
