Patrol 1 begins for U-93

After awaiting fitting of our upgraded hydrophone we have set sail on our first patrol from St Nazaire on the 4th October, we are a little concerned that our patrol grid wont reward us much BE99, our navigation officer has reported we will arrive in just under 48 hours. If like i expect BE99 is a quiet area i plan on heading south along the Liverpool-Gibralter trade route, however we wont be going near Gibraltar in our first patrol. Myself and my crew will be wanting to prove themselves on our first patrol and i just hope that we get a little luck, I had a few days to inspect my crew and thanks to SH3 commander (randomising crews experience and specialties) im very happy with the level of experience the crew has although we do have some recruits which i will have to keep a close eye on during these first few patrols and watch for signs of fatigue. I want to keep the crew sharp and aware for i fear there will be very hard times ahead.

I will continue this patrol report after we have arrived to our patrol grid. I have ordered everyone not on station and reduced the amount of crew on stations to get there heads down while we are still in safer waters, ive asked my chief engineer to play a little light music and my favourite song J'attendrai plays so will sleep for a few hours.
