[Iron Budokan]

I just had a patroll in a IIA (restarting career, got spanked by DDs in my IXB and lost her off the western approaches *sniff*) in which I had to return to base with all my torps and about a teaspoon of fuel left. Bad weather which turned downright awful, those contacts I had I couldn't run 'em down in my little IIA with its limited fuel and flashlight batteries....I was LIVID. I had never returned to port with all my torpedoes before.

Playing GWX, of course, so I took the hosing like a good kaleun, returned chagrined to my base and got my tail chewed out by Doenitz. Somehow I scraped together enough renown for a IID and I'm noodling off Hartlepool at the moment. I'm still angry so even if a sailboat or a luckless hospital ship crosses my path I'm gonna murder it....
