My main concern is not so much matching local time but knowing at what time (according to the time of port at least) when the sun will rise and set it is very useful for German U-Boats in particular who lack good radar until 1943 when I am in an aircraft heavy area I want to know when to dive for the day.
First day out, make a note of the sunrise and sunset times. If it's the first half of the year the sun will rise and set 2-3 minutes later each day. After June 21 the sun will rise and set 2-3 minutes earlier each day.
