Yes! It's catching on!

So I get there and get notice of a convoy heading SSE from inbetween Scapa Flow and the island NE of it (not sure of the name)
Scapa's on the south side of the Orkneys, the islands just NE of those are the Shetlands.

All in all, I got 34,000 grt on my patrol with 5 ships sunk, an interesting patrol for myself if I do say so myself. I even recieved an Iron Cross 2nd class as well as a first class one, 2nd class one, many u boat war badges, and a promotion for my sailors. U-19 is going to try for another patrol tonight and see what magic she can work
Nice work, Herr Kaleun!
