I usually cruise at 8 knots with my VIIC for the best fuel economy. Usually my standard routine is to request several range estimates just as I clear the approaches and minefields at Brest. Seas were calm. Not recharging batteries. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just this time instead of the high 'teens in range I received under 10,000 kms. Right now I've dropped down to 7 knots to get a little more mileage out of her, but we're talking a couple hundred km more at best.

Luckily my patrol grid is AM19 so I don't have that far to go. Won't give me much time on station though.
