I did a Gibraltor run

I eased my VIIB into Gibraltar on my prior patrol (which isn't over, but I wanted to start a new one) and was disappointed...it was night and there was a strong fog. The two ships I found, one was a cargo ship halfway through the docks. The other was there, a large tanker, apparantly whole, but seemingly torpedoproof. I shot several into it, not even so much as a minor flame. I left banging my head on the attack periscope, with escorts coming to me (the smaller of which, patrol boats I assume, were sinking themselves out in the strait! Lots of grey sunk boat icons)

I don't know that I'll be going there again anytime soon.

Instead, I took my IIB (new career, as I said) into Scapa Flow without incident, but only able to take out one of the three destroyers parked there. And no big captial ships yet. I even took the south channel in! But the docks themselves never showed up on my map, even close in, and there were no ships save the parked Tribals (got one, only had 2 torps left and the other must have hit bottom)

Ah well
