1. Orders said to report all contacts. Reported Convoy. Was told other assets would be used and to "return to base". In last build, same thing happened and so I followed orders and returned to base. Was told on forum that his ruined my career. So, this time I ignored orders and continued my mission. It would be nice, if possible, to change "Return to base" to "Continue with mission" or something or nothing at all.

2. Noticed in my 1941 Salmon class boat, that the maximum number of commissioned officers is five. Okay. I started with five commissioned officers. But, I also had five Chiefs, and they also count as commissioned officers. So, to replace one, I have to boot six officers and chiefs from the boat. Same situation applies to all boats. Recommend changing value in .UPC file from 5 to 11 or other appropriate value. But, not my decision.

3. Sonar working properly.

4. Escorts are aggressive, but reasonable.

5. Destroyers still firing torpedoes at submarine. Never served on a submarine. M.O.S. in U.S.M.C. was 0251, interrogator. Saw historical example of destroyer firing torpedo at submarine, on forum, but am not sure that this was typical. Seems odd.

6. My December 8th, 1941 Salmon class boat came with SD radar installed, when I took over the boat.
