What fireftr18 & propbeanie posted above is good advice.

I was thinking last night; when you leave the Office, get your patrol Orders, and depart for your Objective, do you sink shipping, complete your Objective, sink more tonnage, completing Objectives until you run out of torpedoes, maybe Refit & Rearming once at a forward Base, until you have several Objectives completed, a nice list of tonnage sunk, and then return to Port/Base.

Or, do you continually Refit & Rearm at a forward Base, Radio for Objectives, complete them, Refit & Rearm, Radio for another Objective, on and on until you've been out four, five, six or more months completing Objectives and sinking tonnage. Recently, one guy was out for a year before returning to Port/Base.

Continually completing Objectives and being out many months like the second method above without returning to Port/Base would make a very large savefile.rep file.
