I've been having heaps of fin coming out of Salimis.
got sent to patrol outside Alexandria and foudn some nice eye candy in the port. Didn't risk an attack as I was there during daylight hours and there were a bunch of DD's partolling. Then went over to Tobruk where I sunk 2 small tankers, a troop ship, landing ship, a medium merchant, a corvette and a tug before heading home.
On the way north to Crete, I got two reports of warships about 50km apart. the first one was a Southampton and a Fiji class which both got sent to the bottom. The second one was a Large Merchie escorted by a Dido cruiser and a couple of DD's. Got a hit on the Dido and last I saw him he was down at the bows but no renown. The Large Merchie went to the bottom with my last two eels and I got a right shellacking from the DD's.
Limped home with 48% hull integrity, but a huge smile on my face from a great fun patrol with lots of variety.
There always seems to be lots of traffic groing E to W and W to E in the middle of the med south of Crete. Keep an eye out for reports.
