[PSUBS-MAILIST] Euronaut's new lights

The all-round white light is just a convenient (in some cases) way of combining the 225° white masthead light (indicating a power driven vessel), with the 135° white stern light into a single lamp. I am not aware of specific prescriptions in the international colregs for submarines. I thought amber strobes denoted ACV (hovercraft)?
