go thru the strait on the African side where it is deep. do so on slow two speed to avoid wake. be heavy with deck awash. torps set shallow for escorts. be at dark night only on surface to save oxygen and battery time if necessary. if spotted, maintain course very close to coast - escort may ground on shore. when escort closes within 1500 yards begin turn directly toward it head-on-use deck gun if possible then submerge to periscope while increasing speed to flank. hold scope zeroed on escorts bow, firing at 500 yards.(bungo straight style?) if it hits-good- if not, go to 200 metres, set speed level one with silent running and turn 90 degrees for la spezia. do not waste compressed air. if escort doesn't have sonar simply submerge without shooting and proceed thru straight. remember u r in iron coffin and must give it all for the fatherland or the italians. stealth is your weapon of choice. viel gluck herr kaleun
