So yeah. Had this crazy idea pop into my mind last week while plugging 105mm gifts into a convoy off of Cape Horn. So, returned to Lorient and decided to follow through. Donitz was edgy, but gave me the go ahead. So, starting next time, we'll be headed out to meet up with U-Tanker U-459, refueling there before heading east. This will be at 85% realism: just map contacts, ship and external cam, and that's it.

This is the KTB of the submarine U-181. Her mission: To circumnavigate the world for the Fatherland, to push the limits of the U-boats, to brave the trecharous waters of the Pacific, to boldly go where no U-boat has gone before.

(No, I couldn't resist the Star Trek reference.)
