A question of oil slicks

2/3 years ago I personally witnessed the environmental damage caused to the coasts by the sinking of the large oil tanker "Prestige". Those of you that saw some of the news footage may recall that it was months before she was "secured" on the sea bed.

In effect the sinking of this sole boat caused Spain's worse ever environmental disater. Of course we now live in different times from the game's period.

So with that in mind my question is: What was the envirnomnental consequences caused by the sinking of oil tankers at the height of the Uboats campaign.

Clearly I am unsure if there is a definitve answer, but thought it worthy of a post as often some of the side issues of warfare are not as well known and there could be some well read players with some of the answer.

Regards: Capt. Noah.
