I regret to report that despite my brilliant performance, I was unable to reach the goal of 200K BRT. My skillful attacks on convoys and lone tankers were giving the normal results expected from a brilliant officer as myself and I sank 153049 BRT. During an attack on a conoy just as I was launching a superb set of shots, a stinking small freighter plowed into my conning tower and destroyed both persicopes. I must add that the torpedoes launched did sink two ships.

Despite the mishap, I consider my tonnage for the patrol adequate for a grand reception and party to honor me and my greatness.

Kptlt, Johan Sebastian Balz, the Magnificent.

I wonder how it is going to affect Balz. He's probably going nuts.

Going?...I am sure that every U-boat commander has to be a little nuts.

Herr Balz, I am sorry to hear of the treachery by that vile small freighter captain. As a reward, I suggest we all once again commence hostilities against the TSSFAOTOTSA (Tramp Steamers, Small Freighters and other Trash of the Seven Seas Association) effective immediately.

Our deck guns shall roar and thunder and ache from over-use!

Over and out.

Thanks for reminding me about the nefarious TSSFAOTOTSA (Tramp Steamers, Small Freighters and other Trash of the Seven Seas Association) and their dastardly, cowardly, underhanded intentions against my illustrious personna. For your kind words, I have suggested to Lt. Kalb that he disburse a few reichsmarks from the U-502 orphans assistance fund and buy you a drink.

Kptlt. Johan Sebastian Balz, the Magnificent.
