AUX vessel on map
have been enjoying the expansion to SH4, even with the bugs remaining. Can anyone tell me what an AUX is when shown on map on top of a stationary surface ship, with German flag as a background. Thought it was an auxilliary to refuel from but when I reached the spot nothing there.

Further progress
Looks like they are Friendly Armed Merchants and you can direct them to travel to a particular location. Don't seem any good for refitting.

AUX = Auxiliary Cruiser = Hilfskreuzer = Merchant Raiders, Refitted Merchants that shoot at stuff with 5.9" Guns
As you rank up there are also Panzerschiffs, Japanese CruDivs and Japanese Battleship Task Forces you can direct around It's the same as calling in Scouts from Carriers and Airbases

Thanks
Thanks Raptor1, couldn't see any reference in the manual, but what you say makes sense and opens up lots of possibilities.
