If you have sunk enough tonnage and you are in base talking to the officer there
if you click the icon on his mission map it will say how much tonnage you need
to complete the mission But NO request mission button will be shown.
this means it is completed also if you look at your own map when on your sub
the Total Germany instruction /Information showing in the top left hand corner
will show a filled in cross as shown in the screen shot above this also means
that the British costal waters mission is complete.
