4th Patrol.
On our first outting we stumbled across a large convoy off the Portuguese coastal waters while en route to our patol grid off the african west coast. we never made it there as we expended all torpedoes on the convoy claiming 3 medium cargos, 1 large cargo and 1 liberty ship over the course of our three day long attack... this gave us a total of 35,587 tons.
On our second Patrol we ran into a small group of merchants and managed to sink a Granville, a large tanker and a coastal freighter before escorts retaliated. We took serious damage and returned to base with 20,640 tons.
On Patrol three I neglected to check my equipment and did not discover a problem with the attack scope until preparing to engage a small convoy of 3 ships. I managed to claim a large merchant, a medium cargo and a coastal freighter using the observation scope for a total of 18,013 tons and put in with the Corrientes resupply ship to effect repairs to the periscope. After leaving Corrientes we sank a Liberty cargo and a passenger cargo for an additional 9,694 tons before returning home.
patrol 4 as you already read about was decent... i just really would have wanted to make better use of those eels. We didnt have the best luck with duds and misses this time out.
