U-Boot Commander Patrol Log v1.0
INTRODUCTION
Sailor Steve inspired me with his Patrol Logs. Keeping a log is not for everyone, but for me it increases the role-playing value. Through our logs we can paint ourselves as aggressive, cautious, prudent, daring, careless, funloving, cruel, chivalrous, etc. You can add a little flare as Sailor Steve does from time to time (nice of the crew to bring him cake and wine for his birthday!), or you can just stick to the basics and report sightings, positions, etc.
DOWN TO BUSINESS
I made an Excel Spreadsheet which makes the tedium of keeping logs a little more fun. (See screenshot for example)

REQUIREMENTS
You need Excel to use this. If you know a bit about Excel you can tweak this file to your liking. For people who aren't fans of the swaztica (no political statement made by the imagery in this file), removing it is as easy as clicking, deleting and re-saving. For those who know nothing about Excel, using this file is a snap.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is HIGHLY recommended that you use this file in conjunction with SH3 Commander because you can just copy and paste the crew names into the slots. (But there's certainly a file somewhere in the SH3 or Documents folder which has this information if you don't like SH3 Commander.)
CAUTIONS
Some minor tweaking may be needed to align properly on your system with your given resolution. If you run Windows in 1280x1024 rez like I do it should make the going a lot easier. That said, I have tested in 1024x768 and it seemed fine.
WHAT'S NEW!
New in the 1.0 full release! All new "Freeze Pane" technology which allows you to keep the window with your crew and patrol details up as you scroll down through your logs! :rock:
DISCLAIMER
I have not included the fonts which appear in the screenshot because although they were free, I no longer have the original documentation (and don't know if I am permited to distribute). All my fonts are free, however, so if you like these, do a websearch for "American Typewriter-Light" and "JeninesHand Regular". Of course any font will work so use what you like best!

Have fun!
