Patrolled primarly along line running NW to SE with ocassional high speed dashes south to see what was going on there. Didn't want to get too close to Gibraltar.

Weather was clear and initially rough seas got tamer with each passing day. I sank two ships with the deck gun

Impressive.....

Dang, I just finished my 8th patrol and I've only been able to use the deck gun twice! LOL Stupid weather

Gotta love that type 9 though, plenty of torps even if you dont get to use the guns!

Bummer on the weather--Right now, April 1941, dead calm, ran into a convoy thick with Black Swans. Nailed a Fiji. Black Swans gave me a severe dusting but life is good

bloody hell, 100k tons?!

I spent 20days just SE of Gibraltar on my last patrol, near the Canary islands (i think) and sunk ONE Tramp Steamer.

Got fed up so headed North and made a killing off a convoy (see my Convoy Story post)

So you reckon NE of Gib is the place to be... I'm always getting sent that way, so I'll take a look

Yeah--draw that sealane line on the chart and wait for the fat boys to sail down your way. (You can plagiarize the lane I drew on my chart)

Oh, Oh!

It's April 1944, I have a Type VII without schnorkel and the BdU just assigned me to grid AM66 for my 3rd patrol !

AM66 - that's the Solway Firth near the North Channel in the Irish Sea northeast of the Isle of Man.

Best chances to become fish food.

But before I sail into the heart of the darkness, I'll fire the good "old" crewmembers and sail with a minimum of 40 sailors to save at least a few good men for the fatherland.

Cheers,
AndyW

No schnork? keep your decks awash while recharging batteries= smaller radar signature and quicker diving time. Good luck
