I'm currently on my second patrol, mid-September 1939. I've sunk five ships so far for just over 16,000 tons. I have three eels in the forward tubes, one in the stern and one stern reload. I just spent four hours of game time shadowing a large merchant, waiting til dusk to move in for the attack. I went to periscope depth at dusk and pulled up perpendicular to her course. I popped the attack scope up and immediately noticed the floodlights on her flag. NEUTRAL!

It was a large tanker, too. I was planning to fire my last three eels and go home. Back to Frigging Around for a time.

An update to my second patrol: As I watched the neutral tanker sail by I started getting hydrophone reports of a merchant off my port beam. With no time to turn around I engaged emergency speed reverse and readied tube 5. The other merchant turned out to be a Granville type freighter flying a British flag. I hit her in the engine room, surfaced and finished her off with the deck gun. This brought my patrol tonnage to roughly 21,400 tons. I set a southwesterly course and less than an hour later my watch crew sighted another merchant. I turned toward her and sighted two more darkened ships, sailing one behind the other. It's a good thing I still have three torps in the bow tubes. Sometimes things just work out. This will be my first multi-ship attack so hopefully all will go well.

Proper intel and good luck favored me this patrol. Did the most daring thing a commander can do, snuck into the port of Gibraltar on the surface (all be it later in the day and during a storm) and waited for a clear shot. Snuck out undetected and docked at supply ship for fuel.

Not so bad to sink the hood
How many torpedoes did you shoot at her before she sunk?

Took 6, was surprised thought it would take 8 or so, but 6 could have been overkill, I just fired everything loaded and got out of there lol.

Down under eating rice with the locals and getting banged up on ever patrol. Last patrol mid July 1944 wiped out a small convoy at a cost, bridge crew and AA crew were all killed. I hear Hideki Tojo is going to pin medals on my crew.
