I've read where U-Boats always kept their clocks on German Time with the watches and ship routine based on that no matter what the "local" time was. They may be eating lunch at noon ship's time and the sun could be coming up outside while off the coast of the US.
One day, I wpould love to attempt a Real Time Patrol but wife, kids, and job make that extremely unlikely. I suppose the most likely chance would be to do one in a Type II in the North Sea.
So I guess, for now, I have to live vicariously through others.
