The Rangers were trained to finish the mission at whatever the cost.
The Beret was trained to finish the mission and to stay alive to do another mission.

True, but then I got stuck with the fall-asleep-on-the-graveyard-shift guys at the Essen torpedo plant where I was passed a Load o' Duds [ TM ] in Kiel on the giving portion of my BF-grid mission and ended up scampering from a couple of Brit DDs unloading DCs while my once and now past C3 target headed into Liverpool where one of its oilers probably fathered one of the Beatles....

My moneys on Ringo.................

Don't listen to him. He just wants you get killed so he can have more for himself.

Me getting killed is no problem at all. It seems to be what I'm best at doing.

From: BdU
The U-99 went down with all hands of the coast of Freetown. The U-99 sunk a passenger/cargo and two ASW trawlers before a 5 in. shell from a V&W Class destroyer ruptured through the conning town.

My second patrol as the Kaleun of the U-99 was much different from the first. We sent every merchant we heard to the deep combining for over 11000 tons. The impact fuses work as well as I remember them to. I must get the yard birds to only give me T I fish as I enjoy the multi speed and range settings. High waves made hunting hard but Radioman Wentz pulled us through. He will get nothing but promotions if he keeps this up. It is only December of 1940 but I feel as I am leaving a mark on my crew and on this flotilla. I must ask my old Captain what BdU wants when they radio me to transmit beacon signals. I just send them a patrol report but I do not believe that is what they want.

Patrol 3
We sail the U-99 toward the Straße von Gibraltar to cut off any transports trying to fight the Afirka Korps. On way down we encounter a small French convoy consisting of two tramp steamers, one small tanker, a medium cargo, and an armed trawler acting as rear escort. Believing the may be smugglers aiding the resistance, I order a salvo from tubes 1-4. All miss. I wait for all tubes to be operational once more. Order another salvo. All impact the merchants slowing them down. Forward internal stores spent. Surface and order all gunners top side. Exchange fire with the escort, sinking her. Direct fire to the merchants picking them off. All sent to the deep for 11.000 tonnes. My current tonnage suck is over 25.000 tonnes. Low on ammo, I order the U-99 back home. On way to base, I encounter small unescorted convoy consisting of three large tankers. I send a contact report to other captains in the area and progress home. Upon return to base I will petition the Flotilla commander for liberty passes for my crew as they deserve them.
