Shakedown is useful for practicing manuevers, timing emergency dives, and getting to know the boat and crew..
Also, I had read that if you modify your crew or install new equipment before the first patrol, the renown you earn (for the 1st patrol) might not be credited for you. It's a stock SH3 bug. So this is what I use that month for, and if I start later war my first patrol is spent as a short shakedown..
