Anyone kill a friendly? I almost did...

During the first time I played SH3 in a Type II, I sighted a fishing boat north of the East Frisian Islands.

I didn't know the geography of the area and it flies a red flag with a white circle. So I sunk it with a torpedo. When I looked into the Nav Map, it was blue. Blue??? What does it stand for I thought. Then continuing on to the British coast, I sighted a Small Merchant and sunk it with the remaining torpedoes I have. When I checked the Nav Map, it was red! Red??? Then I deduced the red city names and the blue city names on the map are the owners of the ships I sunk. Doh!

That first patrol haunted me for the rest of that career!
