Is that a ported C2 cargo from SHIII? It looks suspiciously familiar.

Also quite notably is the fact that her WAKE seems to be coming from Midships?

Don't mistake it for a merchant and attack it on the surface, it can really unload on you.

Q-Ships were allied vessels (with a disastrous heritage) designed (design being the keyword here) for one purpose only; to lure enemy subs into a surface engagement. The Japanese Auxiliary Cruiser was much more heavily armed (with Cruiser sized guns, torpedoes, mines, etc.) and although could potentially be used in the ASW arena, were designed more as commerce raiders. They would fly false flags in order to lure unsuspecting merchants into their field of fire and then, Pow! The hammer would come down.

Is the wake of the sub, seems that he actually ranover the Chitose. Check the lower corner of the first pic, you will see something that could be the coning tower of a half submerged sub.

Yeah, you're right, I ran into it I was breaking the golden rule of never TC into a port, and didn't even notice it was there until Screeeeeeeeeech! Sorry, I should've mentioned that. The thing in the corner is my bow, I was playing the German campaign.
