So we are on route to the patrol area. We are somewhere off the coast off Norway around Bergen.. (I was there for real 1 week ago)

Going to my patrol area via the Dover Strait would be a bad idea.

So in deeper waters I decided to test the crush depth of the boat..

Reaches 180 meters before the crew told me were at max depth.. I carried in till 220 and I got a waring that I was too deep. Ordered a more shallow depth.. needle carried on going down.

Quickly I ordered emergency surface...

I now have some idea how deep I can go.. But we all need a change of trousers..
