Last night I was ordered to DD66.
It required my making 9.5 knots and not veering off course. I ran into a convoy that required no altering course on the way out for 26K and once done I returned to St Nazaire.
I was informed I ran out of fuel about 100KM from port but that seems to mean there is a reserve of some sort so I made it back on diesels but barely.
That is far from the east coast of the USA but about as far as a type VII can go on one tank.
