A patrol that I think even Jim would consider aggressive enough:




Was in a type VIIB in March of 41' and had zero luck finding any convoys as I kept heading west; once I finally passed the Belchen supply ship I said screw it and would just go straight to the source - Halifax. By the time I got there the weather was pretty much a gale so was able to travel around on the surface in the otherwise very shallow water to get to the promised land:



In the time it took to get from the main Halifax harbor to this staging area the weather started to ease up a bit so that I was able to see the targets from ~1000m away instead of 400m like it was when I entered the harbor and sunk the big tankers there. Then used the deck gun to finish off all the remaining large targets that I wasn't able to use a torpedo on or they didn't sink with just 1 eel.
