Actually, I really loved your account of your adventures in U47, just so you know. Good hunting

Thanks mate. Appreciate it.

jldjs -- Yes, I thought you would probably know what to do, kindly disregard the advice. FWIW, the vast majority of convoys I contacted during that career were making 6 knots, but of course not all were.

On the convoy speed I too concluded 5-6kts was best guess. It's those pesky escorts! I just can't stop tryin' to hit them! I'm still trying to get closer to TFs and convoys.
BTW, enjoyed your posts re U-47.

Thanks very much. As I mentioned in those reports I found that sea state was key for me getting in on convoys and task forces. There were only a few instances where I got in when the sea was calm, during both submerged and surfaced attacks.
