The ZAWL was fitted with a particularly versatile bow-mounted cunning hook, which could be employed to considerable effect.  The submersible would quietly enter an enemy harbour on a moonless night and, taking advantage of the darkness, engage the anchor cable of an unsuspecting vessel with the cunning hook. The ZAWL would then reverse, towing the vessel to a new position before slipping away into the night. When the crew awoke, they were left bewildered to find their vessel lying in an entirely different berth, with no apparent explanation for its sudden change of position
