U-Boat passage past the Rock

U-Boats did operate in the Med.

They sank a UK carrier and numerous other supply ships.

I think U-boats should be able to pass Gibraltar and Calais for that matter if using night move.

Would be great to have this.

IIRC the passage into the Med was considered quite hazardous (nets, high ASW unit density etc - though it did succeed a number of times.

Perhaps there should be an increased risk of damage for a passing U-boat if RN units occupy Gibraltar. (or any other implementation)

Yes good idea.
