Well got the message from Donitz summarizing all was lost so now its time to restart the Career, the XXI is redundant for now. But right to the end I only used the schnorkel in emergencies and found the radar detection gear gave sufficient warning to get under while re-charging on the surface.

Re-started with a Type VIIB and now up to a Type VIIC (renamed to U-96) which I will likely stick with until the XXI becomes available again as I like how quickly you can get under. Now at 1/41 out of St Nazaire at the tail end of The Happy Time so I might get at least a couple more convoy attacks in.

No majaor accomplishments yet other than nailing a T3 -- will check out the Straights of Gibralter soon tho'.
