what is a snorkel used for please?

The snorkel. Possibly the best bit of kit your boat can have. Raising this will allow you to run your diesel engines whilst submurged. And yes it will also give the crew fresh air.

Wooden "Triangle thingy", sounds like you now have a radar detector, alerting you to the presense of radar equiped allied vessels and aircraft.

Can't help you with the single missions I only play careers, sorry.

Nice black and tan wolf by the way, she looks very similar to mine.

It's an air breathing device which allows the Diesel engines to "breath" under water, with this equipment you can do about 12-13 knots underwater with the IXC whilst charging your batteries

By the way, shame on me, I have come on here with my new identity ( was pawsisme) and doggie avatar, and quite forgotten to give a public THANKYOU to the bloke who made it possible.

Thankyou Uncle Neal!
