Spot on, JScones. To add to the references/confirmation for crew watch cycles, crew duties etc, folks can also see:

Type VII U-Boats by Robert C. Stern

Wolfpack by Gordon Williamson

and my personal favorite on the subject of who did what, when, on a Type VII...

U-Boat War Patrol, The Hidden Photographic Diary of U564 by Lawrence Patterson. This puppy follows Teddy Suhren (former IWO on U48) and crew on one single combat patrol in summer of 1942, the one on which he was awarded the Crossed Swords for his Knight's Cross and Oak Leaves. There was a Kriegsmarine combat photographer aboard U564 for the patrol and Patterson does an incredible job of meshing all of the photos with a great story of the patrol down to the tiny details.

In fact, it is my belief that the SHV Dev's have modelled the "character" of their SHV IIIWO after Stabsobersteuermann Karl "Sturkorl" Limburg, U564's navigator and "old man".

Regards,

Gumby

PS- One of my joys in SH3 is SH3 Commander. I've said it before- I'll say it again- THANKS for your utilities JSCones! They are indspensable and have literally added YEARS of replayability to SH3.
