I was just returning from my first patrol. On the chart Kiel is indicated by a dot out in the ocean just north of the inlet which leads to Kiel. I thought that was unusual. So I accessed the Navigator and chose Kiel Canal In but that layed a course over land so I didn't want that. I guess that is only used if you are approaching from the south and west.
So as I approached from the north I steamed south through the inlet and it is a short dash to the dock. I was in site of the dock when a British MTB
boat started firing and sank me. I was totally out of ammo and couldn't fight back. It seemed unusual that he would be so close to the dock. That was a three hours wasted. Does this happen often?

Anyway is there a command when you are near your home port that you can chose to just jump to the port?
