von Zelda, thanks for that. I am in April 1940 now so my course is determined, and really, I hold the same view as Tachyon and badwolf, that to start right at the bottom and work up gives the greatest sense of achievement - no shortcuts or hop-ups.
I did not realise that there were other options and so wondered how so many folk were doing so well so quickly. I thought maybe I was missing some element that everybody but me knew about - like restocking at another port duirng the patrol perhaps, but it seems that is not so, all down to bravery and daring I guess.
