A question

[Kapitan]

Ok its now early 1941 february 27th to be exact this is my 17th patrol i have a very good crew now very experianced and a top of the range type VIIB.

I want to sink either a cruise carrier or battle ship i dont care what just a semi major / major unit now ive been into scapa flow 3 times and only once there was a ship HMS Renown sank her, ive been into loch ewe and nothing also now been into another loch and also liverpool and up the bristol channel and ive found nothing not even a coastal merchant to sink.

I am going to try gibralter now but are tere any places that the british hide thier capital ships or cruisers and carriers?

Thanks very helpful !

Glad to be of help.

If you haven't checked the community manual please do. There is a lot of information in there that you might find useful. Also if you're looking for US Carriers check out Norfolk Naval Base. There is an Escort Carrier there during the whole war.

Good Luck and Good Hunting
