I've been assigned new boats twice in a row now.

When I got back from my first trip to Australia, I was offered a new Type IX, a IXB - the one with two flak guns. It still won't keep you from getting sunk, but at least you take the airplane with you. :/

I went ahead and did another trip to Australia. On return, I was offered a new boat. Again. Hmm. OK, says I.

I got a Type XXIII. I was assigned to patrol in the middle of the Atlantic.

Thing is, a Type XXIII doesn't have sufficient range for Atlantic patrols. It's a coastal boat at best. I know - I tried anyway, and ran out of fuel short of the patrol area.
