Penang

[Ottensen]

I decided to start a career in Penang - GWX1.3 - and after a reasonably successful patrol was puzzled to find I hadn't earned any renown. No tonnage was recorded either, except in the Captains Log, but no renown earned for it. I knew that renown cannot be awarded for reaching patrol areas but what about the tonnage?

The following were all sunk at Madras harbour:

Thought I might have got at least something for that lot
