how successful were your previous patrols?

it all matters. (:-))

Thanks. I guess I'll be taking pictures of Tokyo Bay.
This was the boat's (USS Gudgeon) first wartime patrol out of Pearl, I departed at 0600 12/9/1941, stopped at Midway to refuel, cruised at 12 knots and arrived at patrol area during the early morning hours of 12/24/1941 Pearl Harbor Base Time, which is 12/25/1941 Tokyo Time.

What speed in knots is "One Engine Speed"?

After reviewing Silent Victory, I may have been cruising too fast at 12 knots.

I made the transit from Pearl to Midway to Empire Waters at 1X time. I am now using a mix of 1X and time compression to finish the patrol.
