A couple of times over the last few months I have had to break off pursuit of a convoy because the escorts are too dangerous. I hope my current Kaleun can earn a Knight's Cross before he is killed or retired.

Ah yes it's always sad to say good bye to your old Kaleun when his retired... or worse. I still remember my first one... more than 300k and he had loads of medals but then he retired and went on leading his own flotilla. The next two ... weren't so lucky ... Let's see how long this Kaleun will last.
