That's a long trip home. You stopping for fuel anywhere on the way or did you start in the Black Sea?:hmm: |
Nope. Started at home port of Lorient, cruised down the Spanish coast, entered the Med via the Strait of Gibraltar, past Sicily, and headed north into the Aegean Sea, up through the Dardanelles, then through Istanbul, and into the Black Sea. Total distance there was approx 3400 miles one way. I think the range of the IXb is around 12,000 miles right? Ran out of torps and no 105mm HE deck gun ammo left so heading home.
