Looks like hard evidence to me. Anyway, perhaps maybe F16 is using the standard game that does not have the canal. If so, you will find it in all its glory with the GWX mod.

the GWX team did a great job in making it a sight seeing experience (at least part of the way --hehe)

The nicest thing about the GWX canal is there are no annoying locks you have sit in while they pump your water up to...or down to the next level. Too bad there isn't a 3-D souvenir shop selling baubles on the shore. "I navigated the Kiel Canal and all I got was this lousy tee shirt."

I didn't know about this Kiel canal until I restarted my career to wilhelmshaven. In fact the reason I restarted my career was because it took a really loooong time to sail from the base in Kiel to the North sea, espescially in a type IIA boat.
It wasn't until my 2d partol (in second career) that I found out about the Kiel canal. I accidentally clicked on the "Kiel canal" navigation mode and afterward searched the map and realized that there's a shortcut from Kiel to North sea.
