69 days (MAR 18 40 - MAY 25 40) in a IXB type U-123, started in Wilhelmshaven. Sent to EJ66, where I only met 1 neutral coastal vessel, and on my way back (to Cadiz because of low fuel) I stopped at Western entrance to Gibraltar - sunk 18 ships in 24 days there. It was one of very few patrols ended with undamaged hull.

From my SH3 Commander Personnel file:
Patrol results
Crew losses: 0
Ships sunk: 20
Aircraft destroyed: 0
Patrol tonage: 230941 tons

It was GXW 1.03 almost a year ago, and I picked only the largest targets when W of Gibraltar.

62 days VIIC west of Gib.....144 days IXD2 the curry being
