5/5/1939 02:00 Baltic Sea Training Square XF 30th day at sea
Ship 35 conducting gunnery and searchlight exercises. FKpt Hartmann has been conducting these drills for 4 weeks and since leaving Kiel on April 7th Ship 35 has conducted minelaying, torpedo, and boarding exercises once these tests are complete Ship 35 will return to A.G. Weser Werft for final adjustments and additions before sailing for Kiel via the Kiel Canal and begin preparations for her departure on August 1, 1939. In the end I’ve decided that the ship will sail for the North Atlantic and commerce raiding I’ve ended up scraping minelaying missions on the British East Coast, Narvik, and the Arctic whaling fleets.
I’m still trying to get all the planning done and make SH5 work this picture was taken from one of dozens of Single Missions I’ve been making for the last week.
