Stix,
I would love to know where you found thoes big battle waggons.
I have never found anything that big in my career game in either GWX or GW1.1a.

if you really want to know what's in some ports,
you should contact the office of Naval Intelligence.

In other words

run Sh3gen.

The Hood and Illustrious where up around AN 11 North West of scapa on the edge of the shelf (I try not to patrol shallow waters) very early in the war. I lucked on to both by picking up the taskforce sound contacts with no "taskforce report". The Rodney was travelling in a convoy reported by Bdu.
