Later in the war anything inside the Irish sea is suicide unless you've got mega paitence to spend most of your time submerged at silent waiting for the chance to pop up long enough to at least re-supply your air and some battery power.

The SE corner of AM53 is hell, but it's better than trying to come up from the south.
Once the RAF starts flying at night, it's pretty much guarenteed to be a one way trip.
Early on, I like the challenge of entering The Irish Sea, or even The Med with a IXB, but have never had the guts to enter any port. Prien, I ain't.
