Right now the only the thing that bothers me with running just OpMonsoon is the German voices in the american subs.
But I dont think I run OM far enough yet. At this point I stated at the beginning of the war in 2nd flottilla to get my IX, my tally for the first while was dismall. Say a patrol of 15000 tons was good.
But just before Norway I was given a patrol down off of Spain, and that would of taken me to long to complete, and get back in time for the Norwegian battles so I splent about a week up near south westren entrances to Scapa.
Boy that was worth waiting for. I was running at 30 meters when I picked a Kent. I managed to chase him down but I also had another contact that I didn't take a look at as I busy. When I hit the first Kent I checked the secound contact that was now closing.
What a surprise a secound Kent was charging down on me.
The bugger even spotted my scope and started using his main battery. But to bad so sad he zigged when he should of zagged and I got me two Kents in one day.
The next day when I was about to call it quits and head home as I had only the two crusiers in a week.
Smoke on the horizon was spotted and the chase was on.
Two Fiji's running 600 meters apart.
Well that was four cruisers and a happy boat when we got home.

The next partol had me start on the 20th of August to do a patrol off of the Bodo, Narvik area that the allies still had.
When I was about even with Namos I ran into a small task force in medicore weather, and look at that 2 Kents followed by a York. I ran in and did an attack running parallel to them and with great satisfaction I got me a Kent and York.
