My first career game and Im awarded the USS Tautog! Sweeeet! I mean, heck, this was a somewhat famous boat.

So, yeah, i was pretty happy about that, until i shoved off and got my mission orders. A photo recon.. No biggie i think... changed my mind about how easy this might be after i started plotting my course, it appears im going to Japan.:

Did i mention that im allergic to mines?! They may as well have sent me into the Emperor's wading pool! Orders are orders, but i swear, i think some bad karama from harbor raiding in the carribean followed me from SH3. At least the approach has a channel of deeper water, but i expect this is going to be tantamount to passing through Gibralter.

Wow, cool boat!

But yeah, trial by fire for a brand new Skipper eh.

And I thought the KM needed heroes and wasn't too particular.

Good luck Ducimus. Let how us know how it turns out!

I have to drop the guy of practically within sight of Tokyo!

Goodbye cruel world!

my longest career so far was 2 patrols, i completely wiped out a small convoy(3 escorts and 5 merchants) then on my way back to the harbour i ran agroun on some random island not on the map and in deep water and sunk.

My longest campaign was about 4-5 patrols after I lost the USS Triton and it figured I somehow still survived I ended it; the only thing that can get a immobile sub from the coast of Japan is a large task force I suspect.
