The Mediterranean, as expected, looks like a very challenging area.
Plenty of warships of each type, usually travelling in fast and heavyly escorted battlegroups, very few merchant convoys or lone targets (best place to spot them, as I know, few miles East from Gibraltar).
I got the "swords" by sinking a Nelson battleship, left alone by escorts about two hours after my first spread damaged it.
Missed a fleet carrier, travelling with four cruisers, on the second patrol; apparently the ship was damaged by one of my fishes, but still too fast for a second strike.
Lot more warships spotted during the third patrol, but never had an opportunity to launch; bad moments with escorts; hopefully, the silly lone tankers credited me by 26.000 tons more.
