Another funky idea.

OK, so everyone poo-pooed my idea of floatable radio transmitters to lure away bad guys, or allow a radio transmission to be sent out after the sub left the area.

But last night, after having escorts shooting at my exposed periscope, I had another fun though.

What if the sub carried a bunch of external, weighted buoys that stuck out of the water looking like....a periscope!?

Being pursued by escorts? No problem. Don't drop a noisemaker, drop a periscope buoy!

I can just see the escorts and merchants having fits as there are twenty or so periscopes bobbing in the seas all around them!
