In front of first convoy, help...

I'm just thinking if you're running ahead of the convoy at full speed underwater, you're going to be making a lot of noise down there, whether you're reloading or not. And also running down your electric motors, which you'll need every ounce of juice from if they catch on to you.

Far better to break off to port or starboard, and literally give yourself some breathing space on the surface. That way you can not only recharge your batteries, and oxygen, but also reload in relative peace and quiet, but also haul in any torpedoes you might have externally stored.

Then, keeping at least in sonar contact, hook round again at flank speed, and take another dig at them the following night with everything topped up and your crew as rested as possible.

But it sounds from your tally so far, that you're doing just fine!
