Yeah, I meant in one career, but I HIGHLY doubt anyone ever has. Just for the simple fact that most of the U-Boat aces I know of that survived the war conducted less than 20 patrols, and were sent to desk duty.

Unless someone comes up with a mod which transfers us off active patrol duty and just makes is sit there and do paperwork all day (no thank you), then we are forced to sea, and would conduct far more patrols than actual captains (that survived) would.

Add to this, the roughly 75% attrition rate of the U-Boat Waffen, and yeah.... a one career wonder would be a astounding.

But if anyone has ever done it, let me know!
