A few more remarks:

- you don't need to select anything in the 'current activity' row for normal patrol coordinates: blank cells are automatically recognized as 'normal patrol' anyway. This will make you to spare the time to tag each cell

- similarly, when an attack is recorded in the 'number of ships sunk/damaged' row, you don't need to set its corresponding 'current activity' cell to 'attacking contact': the spreadsheet will automatically recognize attacks, as long as a numerical input equal or bigger than 0 is set. If the setting is 0, a failed attack flag will be generated, otherwise, the output used for radio reporting will be 'successful attack'.

- I have noticed that you have recorded the Estonian Ship "Hanonia", captured on 24 Sep 1939, as a 'sunk/damaged ship'. Since the seizing of ships didn't obviously involve the use of any torpedo, I wouldn't record them at all. Nonetheless, I can create a 'ship catured' input for radio reporting purposes, if you think it is worth it

P.S: another special tag I am thinking to add is "boat being refitted"
Thanks for the suggestions!

I think it might be nice to have the option "ship captured", but perhaps not necessary for the purposes of this project.
