U-23, under the command of Hans Gruber. On preliminary shakedown cruise testing repairs from incident involving her previous commander, a bottle of russian vodka and a german wharf that he swears just jumped out at him.

August 3rd - The crew is in good spirits after two full days at sea and within reach of our assigned patrol grid. Crew scheduling is rigidly enforced in four hour shifts to limit prolonged inactivity of the men not needed at station. Duties are, however, light the moment. With no action imminent, our weapons officer and torpedo crews are free to fill other positions, keeping fatigue at a minimum.

We passed a British ore freighter in the middle of the night, heading North at medium range. Took the opportunity for a training run for the newer crew members in the torpedo room and to test out the new optics installed after an incident with the previous commander, a bottle of russian vodka and a particularly amorous goat. All systems performed adequately and the crews time in preparing the torpedo for launch, while in need of improvement, was within acceptable expectations. Calculations made, we let the freighter on her way unaware of our presence.

We reached our assigned patrol grid early the next morning. Plans to fully test the new valves installed after an incident with the previous commander, a bottle of russian vodka and a polish bordello owner to whom he owed a sum of money were waylaid by a lack of adequate water depth in the assigned grid. Ordered the boat to 20 meters to fully test the electric engines. We remained submerged for an hour before surfacing, the tests complete.

All systems normal. We are awaiting further orders from BDU.
