For cruising towards Freetown (IXB-U123..Like Hardegen I'm not afraid to use the deck gun..) I fancy perfect weather.. reasons: fuel economy, and my crew can get some R&R..(Have seen dolphins, but no sharks, yet.)
15 m/s, rain and fog wears me out.. literally !

For convoys? My preferred weather is 7 m/s, moderate visibility, some rain, overcast. Clear skies and flat seas are great for shore leave; out hunting targets, give me sloppy gray every day.
But too sloppy - rain, fog, limited visibility -- it's not worth the fight. Better to shadow the convoy across the Atlantic & wait for better weather, even if it takes days.
