My tonnage total is just short of the million mark, and the highlight so far was sinking HMS Hood in 1939. That was an interesting encounter, north of Scotland where I managed to penetrate the Task Force and hit her with 4 torpedoes, sneak away avoiding detection (not so easy later in the war of course) and then returned to find she was limping back towards Scapa Flow at 2 knots with her escorts a mile or two further ahead. 2 more torpedoes finished the job!

I have just completed the game- 46 patrols and just over 1.5 million tons of shipping sent to the bottom. SH3 Commander informed me that I was held captive by the Allies for 8 months and died in Berlin in 1969.
