A sea stroy about CG32

Saturn5 · 11-22-05, 06:30 AM

Hallo to all veteran U-Boot commanders of this forum!

I have an interesting sea story to tell.

It was my second patrol from Brest. Iâ€™ve cleared the docks and was heading for the ocean. I opened up my map to chart my course to my patrol grid CG32. I was quite shocked to see where BdU was sending me. The CG32 is a landlocked grit on Spain you see. I was not scheduled for R&R yet. So there was really no reason why I was send there. I just couldnâ€™t find a reasonable way to reach my patrol grid. Thus I decided to move to the approaches of Gibraltar. It was good decision as this patrol turned out a good one. I was not court marshaled and shot when I returned to my base.

But I still do wonder why did the BdU send to a landlocked grid and if any other U-Boot commander experienced surprises as well

They do that just to see if you're paying any attention to orders at all.

You might also get the message, "Patrol to Grid CG32 and then do the Hokey Pokey."

But then if they say, "Simon Says patrol to grid CG32" you really have to go there no matter what.
