Default bah!

06MAR41 U-125, Type IXC (5 patrols)

Patrol 1
06MAR41 - 15APR41 (41 days) - 8 (8/0) - 66488 (66488/0)
Hit a convoy on this patrol

Patrol 2
20MAY41 - 25JUN41 (37 days) - 8 (8/0) -53296 (53296/0)
U-Boat damaged (H.I. 93.42%), Hit a convoy on this patrol, Merchant got lucky hit in.

Patrol 3
30JUL41 - 03SEP41 (36 days) - 4 (3/1) - 22314 (21784/530)
U-Boat damaged (H.I. 47.18%), I had the stupid idea to raid freetown harbor.

Patrol 4
29OCT41 - 07DEC41 (40 days) - 10 (7/3) - 39187 (36117/3070)
U-Boat damaged (H.I. 71.27%), Hit a mine raiding St Johns harbor. Mine basically gutted the boat. Forward batteries destroyed, both periscopes put out of action. Boat sunk to the bottom, pumped the water out, stayed laying doggo on the bottom until dark. Surfaced, got shelled, sank some ships on my way out, limped home with 1/4 total battery capacity.

Patrol 5
11JAN42 - 03FEB42 (24 days) - 1 (1/0) -7383 (7383/0)
U-Boat lost. I have five words for this:
Fog, Rain, midnight, destroyer, and ramming. I could probably sum those five words up with a singular word, that word being Radar.

Oh well, ive lost better careers much farther along I did push this boat hard, i only had one patrol where the boat was undamaged. Rest of em, i got lucky.
