When I ask you -"Maximum range at current speed?" you give me a figure and then I ask you -"Range to course end"? and you give me another figure. If the first figure is higher then the second I expect us to reach port safe and sound.

NOW YOU TELL ME WE ARE OUT OF DIESEL AND WE STILL HAVE 500 km TO GO.
So I ask again -"Maximum range at current speed"? And you tell me 800 km ARE YOU NUTS!!!! HOW THE HELL ARE WE GOING 800 km WITH EMPTY FUEL TANKS HUH ????
Should I raise the periscope, hang my trouser in it and SAIL BACK TO WILHELMSHAFEN???

Well I got some bad news and some good news for you my freind. The bad news is I am transfering you of this boat, I dont ever want to see you again. The good news is I will wait with the transfer until we have been towed back to port so you wont have to swim back. You dumb son of a bitch!

Now is there anybod who can tell me what this idiot is talking about and can anybody give me a way to use up to 90% of the fuel without risking to get stuck dead in the water just because the navigator cant count?
