GLORIOUS hunting off Florida

Wow. So it's January 1942, and I've been sent to the Southeastern tip of Florida. There's a deep channel running the length of the state that meets up with the Gulf channel below (often called the Gibraltar of the West due to its Gulf of Mexico connection) and an Atlantic channel to the east. A TON of shipping is passing along these deep channels, primarily tankers! I'm at 78K tons so far, with a few torps left, and all my gun rounds (AWFUL weather

). If you're looking for big tonnage, with dummy destroyers and zero aircover, this beats the heck out of Gibraltar. To the heck with the Brits, this really is Happy Times all over again! All I have to do is sit at periscope depth and listen to them zip up and down all around me!
