1. It's August 1939. The war doesn't start until September 1, and the British don't join in until September 3, so all ships are neutral. Go out on a short shakedown cruise, then wait until September for the war to start. Historically FdU sent out 14 boats on August 19 to wait for the start of hostilities. Or else set your start date for September 1.

2. There are no latitude and logitude bearings in SH3. Any messages with those coordinates are historical transmissions inserted into the game for immersion purposes, to make you feel like you're not alone in the war. They have no bearing on the game at all.
