Is it possible to respond to these SSS messages? Or are they just F.Y.I?

Hi mate, and welcome!

I believe its only eye-candy, and that its not possible to aid or assist that actual vessel. A lot of the messages recieved are just for that "realism" feeling, and has nothing to do with you or your patrol.

there was a signal the german marine, especially the u-boat weapon, used during ww2.
it was "BBB" which meant "Be aware of the British Bernard!"

I should hardly think a U-Boot kaleun would be worried about a British Bernard; I'm fairly sure he's the fellow who sets the depth to zero and wasserbombs the stern of his own ship!

All humor aside, this is a fascinating thread. Didn't know a lick of this.
