Finally after my 3rd patrol I was offered a new boat - I jumped at the chance and got a P class. Was hoping for a Gato or Tambor but I'll take it.
The last patrol in the S class was frustrating - out of the 12 torps I expended (Mk 14s) I missed one, 2 ran too deep and 9 were duds. Yes, not a single successful torpedo hit this patrol. (Feb/Mar 1942).
I should've followed my instincts and loaded her with Mk 10s before I went on patrol.
