You will need to be concious of your fuel. Normally I will go flank to Midway out of Pearl. Refuel. From there on I go at 10 kts to my first mission point. It is slow going but you have just over 3/4 of a tank. Plenty of fuel to patrol. When I do hit my patrol area of set speed at 7kts. The race is not won by the swift but by the stealthy. I only go flank to chase my target. Doing this saves a lot of fuel. When I get to half a tank, I look real hard at my location, torp load out. If I can squeeze in one more mission I do so. If not, I head on home.
