I've always seen grids called out as AM37, or BF27. What is it with the 4 digits?

In RL a further subdivision of the grid was used, to create even smaller areas of operation/location. BF1414 refers, IIRC, to sector 4 in sector 1 of quadrant 14 of grid square BF.

GWX has always had AI subs coming into the harbors. There's one at Kiel if you leave by the main entrance.

In the GWX Navmap screen you can pull down a grid map that has the subgrid chart in the lower corner. I use it to guestimate my 4-digit location when I write up my reports.

In SH4 UBM they actually give the 4-digit grids, as well as latitude and longitude.
