Well, I have to say I'm quite happy with this old gal. Fat-bottom girls do seem to make the rocking world go 'round - so far. It's '41 so the action isn't too sticky, and I'm enjoying the extra torps. And, since I discovered that you can sinkn a C2 with 10 10.5cm shells, and that transports usually go down with a single torp, I'm quite pleased with my tonnage. Also, I was very pleased to discover that my IXC pulls 22KTS in perfectly still sea! That's faster than my VIIB, and with the extra fuel, I can do it harder, longer. So, all in all, she's great. I am a bit curious how my first detection will go; I've not been depth charged yet. I'm hoping that this hulls a bit stronger than my VIIB. If I get an insta-crunch with this boat it will be my last for quite some time.
Are you still alfoat? What are you sailing now?
