Third Patrol out of Lorient. Type IID (Slow and short range). First two were to patrol around the AM grid. They were pleasant cruises, and I ran out of eels both times before reaching my assigned grid. Short and sweet.
Patrol 3, assigned to DT 59. DT 59!!!!!? WTF is that? Oh, right in the middle of the Atlantic! About 50,000 miles away! A type IID is a COASTAL boat dammit. What are they doing sending me all the way out there? It'll take me 12.5 days just to get there. There's nothing out there but water!
If I have enough fuel after my 24 hour patrol I'll swing past Gibralter... if the crew haven't died of old age by then.
BDU must hate me!
