28 March 1940:
Scharnhorst departs Wilhelmshaven on another raiding mission.

Results:
Returned to port 2 April 1940, having sunk 24 ships for an impressive 101,528 tons. We tried twice to intercept a task force in the hopes of sinking a battleship or carrier, but no luck. However we did manage to chase down and obliterate a convoy just W of Scapa Flow. Departed the area after damage in attack by Swordfish, of which we shot down one.

On a side note, my gunners and flak gunners are very popular with the ladies ashore, what with all the medals they have. But it's tit-for-tat aboard Scharnhorst...you sink a lot of ships or shoot down a lot of aircraft, your CO hands out medals like they're candy.
