What do Star shells do ??

Without looking through the sights of the deck gun; I'll raise the deck gun to over twice the height or better and a little ahead of the target. Then fire a starshell. It'll hang in the air for awhile.That illuminates the target nicely for either the deck gun or a torpedo attack. If needed every so often fire another starshell to illuminate the area again. Of course that'll announce your presence to any nearby warship. It's worth it though.
