PS when out on Patrol dont rely on your sonar man to find convoys do manual sweeps yourself every hour of your game time clock your hearing is far better than bernards you can pick up Convoys 35kms away bernard will pick them up at 5-7kms away

Just outside the Straits of Gibraltar - at least early war. Weather is often calm and you can use the deck gun to save torps.

Mmmm.... Gibraltar....:arrgh!:
