LOL, you've been lucky then.

Not ALL are protected though but I know from experience Loch Ewe is.

You need a spy in loch ewe :hmm:

In reality, scapa was the only raid by a u-Boat, and gunter prien was lucky to survive and not be caught or run aground in shallow waters.

Aside from the 4 DD's that are usually patrolling the eastern approach there is a indeed a minefield and some nasty subnets there. To the southeast is also heavily mined, makes getting into Liverpool a real pain.

You can find a map of Loch Ewe here that shows the actual geography of the loch, and the anti-submarine emplacements used in WWII.

Made it in and out safely, stayed in there for a couple of days!

One floating dock, one tanker, one medium cargo amongst several other vessels including one destroyer.

The BB I was looking for was not there however! Still nice tonnage though.
