I was thinking this was gonna be a boring patrol but so far it's going very well.

Spotted a fast moving warship just northwest of Scapa Flow, looked like a light cruiser. I quickly maneuvered around for an intercept course at full speed and recognized it as a Fiji class. Once in position 600 meters sent 2 fish and both hit, it quickly sunk, returning to course now.

2 days later found a small task force of 2 auxiliary cruisers and a destroyer, i quickly got into position but they changed course and i couldn't get into an good position in time. could only shoot the rear auxiliary and so i did, 20 seconds later a torpedo impact in the stern followed by a huge explosion caused by a magazine detonation. managed to get away with no problems.

Now heading south towards my patrol grid near Gibaltrar strait, sunk one medium cargo and a large merchant.
