excellent references there platypus.
i assumed this was the case... as it is said "...always attack"
unfortunately i have not encountered this scenario yet. two trips to the USA and both times the passage was quiet.
my hunch on a good hunting spot was right on, bagged 3 large tankers, 2 granvilles, 1 medium tanker, and a medium cargo.
i was about 50 miles too far out to sea on the previous patrol, though still pretty happy with that one.
great hunting off norfolk between 30 and 60 miles from shore up and down the coast if you can stand the shallow waters.
returned to base for fuel concerns with 2 torpedoes remaining for just over 46,000 grt
