Ahhh ... so that's the reason I couldn't locate it in the Renown Chart. I assumed that the Warspite was a Nelson Class and that it was the class and not the exact ship that was scripted.
Anyway, I just had the strangest experience on the way south. I Received a contact update from BdU about a Task Force south of Trondheim on April 16, and promptly orderd ahead full in that general direction since I was 300 NM out. When I approached the area the map contact was updated, so I assumed they were still in there or at least on the way out. I entered the fjord carefully going down for a listener every 20K or so. I suddently bump into a Tribal Class laying at anchor and later on a Troop Transport, so I navigate to a favorouble firing position when I realise that I know absolutely nothing about what else might be out there. I do a bit of recon and it turns out that there are 4 Tribal Class, 3 Troop Transports and a Fiji Class just lying there in the shallow waters.
To make a long story short (and get to the point!) I'm hiding in a small fjord 3 hours later doing repairs and reloading after having sunk a Tribal class (self-defense), a Troop Transport and damaged another transport. The wind has picked up so it's now a full gale. I make another approach towards the task-force and to my surprise I see that they have all run aground! The icons on the map indicate they are very much alive, but there is no movement at all and slamming a few fish into the last transport doen't make a difference - a very eeary *spelling* feel to the situation, so I legged it out before the same happend to me
.
I arrive back in Wilhelsmhafen a few days later and look forward to use all the renown I have earned for sinking 60K tons on my first patrol. Suddently I remember that there was the small incident where I surfaced next to a German Large Merchant and forgot that the deck-gun was manned and set to "Fire at Will" while I was reading radio transcripts with TC set to 32 ;-)
Total renown for a great patrol: MINUS 1871
