Sure it makes sense. In Germany, August of 1939, war with England appeared to be probable. (England and Germany were officially at war in September.) In August, Doenitz sent U-boats out to pre-determined positions to await the beginning of hostilities between England and Germany.

Also, if you think about it... "shakedown cruises" are a good excuse in political terms, for pre-positioning your military assets.

Welcome to Subsim, Nicolai.

All of these matters are covered in the GWX manual that comes with your installation. The manual can also be downloaded from www.thegreywolves.com

Sink'em ALL!!!
