I'm now within 1000 renown of earning a VIIC. My crew is getting fairly excited at the prospect of having a little more room in the mess, and a lot more firepower to sink tonnage. On my last patrol (number eight I think) we sent to the bottom a small merchant out of forsythe, a small passenger/cargo near hull, and a sloop off Newcastle. It's now late 1940 and we're starting to see more aircraft on patrol overhead. I'm glad our little "bath tub" can get under quickly (unkile those sluggish type IX boats
). One more good haul ought to be enough I think. BTW I just got promoted to Oberleiutenent. I must be doing something to make BDU happy.
