Your typical patrol

With that being said, I never cross 4000 km from brisbane, and I stick to Rabaul-Palau route, and my policy is to sink only large ships.

I will start practicing calling AOB. I dont want the plot methods anymore, since skippers used their eyes, well, I should too.. If I'm correct there was a periscope method to get the AOB and I wish if somebody lay it plain on the table.

The AOB is the ships course relative to your sub. If you take two accurate stad measurement and ask for speed it will also give you course. The AOB wheel has two sets of numbers, angle and course, just simple spin the AOB to the course numbers given and it will set the right angle.

Set off from Fremantle in 43 pass Lombock staights play silly buggers with the subchaser patrolling the straights go to my assigned target take out a few merchants (normally south china sea's ) some times hit a TF on my way home sod all i can do because i have no fish left or lately go out and take out a few dozen Sampans and fishishing boat's the odd tanker if am lucky in the last 4 patrols i have not sunk more than 30k of ships.(I know be more aggresive) but it don;t always work that way.
