Cape Crusader, on reading your response to Ken, I felt obliged to point out that there was no such thing as a ‘swift landing’: an operation of that type is a hazardous undertaking for a submarine, without absolutely reliable charts it could not even be considered.

The circumstances you describe as ideal for U-boat landings don’t add up in wartime, for all the reasons Ken gave. He does know a thing or two about the subject.

Regards,
Bruce
