Was contemplating taking 35 on her maiden voyage back from AM23 down through the Irish Sea and through 'die kanal' but I decided to stick on the side of caution and return back north of Scapa and down the east coast, see if I can bag anything coming out of the east coast ports. Already got about 14ks worth of deck gun fodder but the weather's been a bit scheiße the past couple of days so I reckon it'll stay the same down the coast so it'll have to be torpedo time.

Yeah the Brits have the worst weather I've seen in the game. One patrol it rained non-stop by the time I hit the English coast until I ended my mission... it really sucked cause I just got a new gunner

from A Summer in Skye, by Alexander Smith, 1865 (drawn from his travels to the Isle of Skye in 1864)

A mile or two after we had passed the little fishing village with which I had formerly made acquaintance, we entered on a very dismal district of country. It was precisely to the eye what the croak of the raven is to the ear. It was an utter desolation in which nature seemed deteriorated, and at her worst. Winter could not possibly sadden the region; no spring could quicken it into flowers. The hills wore but for ornament the white streak of the torrent; the rocky soil clothed itself in heather to which the purple never came. Even man, the miracle-worker, who transforms everything he touches, who has rescued a fertile Holland from the waves, who has reared a marble Venice out of salt lagoon and marsh, was defeated there. Labour was resultless - it went no further than itself - it was like a song without an echo. A turf-hut with smoke issuing from the roof, and a patch of green round about, which reminded you of the smile of an ailing child, and which would probably ripen, so far as it was capable of ripening, by November, was all that man could wrest from nature.

I just had a patrol where I knocked the prop clean off a Large Merchant west of Scapa, using my last torpedo. I was determined not to go home without the kill, and I couldn't use the deck gun because of the rough weather, so I settled down to wait out the storm.

24 days later I got to write the kill in my logbook

- Must... sink... merchant...

What a great way to get yourself killed.

Crack suicide fleet now recruiting, do you want to die in the channel? You do, great sign on the dotted line.

How's this for luck? Another near suicide run...

After Koondawg urged me on and on to get SH3 commander I did, so I loaded up my campaign and jumped in. Pulling out of Kiel bound for the west side of Ireland I sink 6 ships along the way using all of my 14 torpedoes before I ever reach my patrol grid. Well lucky freakin' me, my torpedoes were wasted on those huge C2 cargo ships that take 3 fish sticks a piece! I get there and run into a convoy with destroyers and merchants and every other thing that'll sink you imaginable... Dive to 15 meters and sneak away avoiding everything I could. All clear, sonar reports nothing in the area. Surface the boat and BAM! Right behind me is this daggone C class destroyer but the guys must've been asleep at the helm or their watch standers were busy at a Captain's Mast cause I evaded that with a few zig zags and away I go again. Close call, but not disastrous, yet... Returned to base after that...had to re-supply. I swear these engineers never give me enough freakin fish I also hear those Omega fatty acids are pretty good for you too Pity I didn't get enough...
