Your Station

  • Sonar / Radar Active ASDIC and Type 271 radar. Track submerged contacts by bearing and range; paint surfaced U-boats on the PPI scope.
  • Plotting Table Build the tactical picture. Mark contacts on a scaled chart and lay off intercept courses over time.
  • Bridge & Guns 4″ QF Mk V deck gun. Panoramic bridge view with ballistics-accurate fire on surfaced contacts.
  • Depth Charges Run down the contact and drop the pattern. Get the geometry wrong and the U-boat slips away.
  • Comms / HF-DF Intercept U-boat radio traffic for rough directional fixes on the wolfpack.

The convoy is counting on you.
