Attack convoy BE3366
I’m just returning from a patrol W of Norway Oct 1939, Hurricane conditions most of the time. Used up most of my fuel chasing hydrophone contacts. Still have all torpedoes.
I’m on my way down the W side of Denmark heading for Kiel Canal. I get the following messages:-
Convoy sited, inbound, moderately escorted BE3366
SSSI 50.20N 12.45W SS Bretagne
SSS Request assistance 50.20N 12.45W SS Karamea
SSS Request assistance 50.20N 12.45W SS Lockavon
To U6 (me) from U45 attack convoy.
How do I find the convoy?
Is there a way of showing latitude and longitude on my charts while I am mid patrol?
What is BE3366? Is it a part of a British chart? How do I find out where it is?
