Taking boat out of dry dock and putting on charging station. Beginning of pre-war patrol preparation.
During the shipyard time, a Diesel Fireman 1cl. was transferred to another Uboat and was replaced by a Boatswain’s Mate 2cl. on his first post-training deployment, as an additional lookout. Due to this, the Warrant Machinist-D will have to man the Stbd.-Diesel watch on the next war patrol.
