5 or 10 meter. Makes a difference?

OK. You have presented very good evidence. I'll concede it was a commonly used tactic. Still seems a bit odd to me, though.

He says "The metacenter is a point where the center of gravity of the boat coincides with the center of buoyancy; a very hazardous point which must be passed quickly. If the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy are coincident and if a wave were to hit the boat from the side, capsizing could occur. Those Hollywood movies where a submarine is shown with decks awash, making an approach on the surface is mostly fiction. That is about where the two centers become coincident and it doesn't take much to roll the boat over. "

O'Kane said much the same thing, which is one of the reasons I had my doubts.

I wonder how much they trimmed down their boats and how much speed they lost?

One of the pains in the game, moreso with mods like TMO is it's very difficult to pull off a night surface attack, but it can be done. The problem is getting close enough.............

I agree. Night attacks seem tricky. I may try some of your 'decks awash' methods next time I'm in that situation.
