I kind of split the middle with this one. I like going down to the Caribean and find those nice single or double unescorted tankers. I'm in a Type IXC/40 (U-167) in fact my last three patrols have been down around Port of Spain and Curacao. I think for the next patrol I'm going to go hang out around AM53. Early on in the war I would go over there and encounter a convoy almost every time. Looks like they were heading for Liverpool. It's mid 1943 in my career now so should be interesting to engage a convoy since it has been awhile since I have.
