U73 found no worthwhile targets in scapa flow. As expected. We didn't need to get very far into the basin to find out there was nothing decent to bother with. So we beat a hasty retreat on the surface, at night.
Returned to base with a modest amount of tonnage, and the right to wear the bull of scapa flow on our conning tower.
U73s third patrol begins in a grid near to Gibraltar. In process of checking out shipping in the straights. Not a good move on my part and am starting to regret plotting a course here. Have 23K tons in the locker so far, but almost everything floating out here is a destroyer of some kind.
The hunt continues...
