Black May sucks.

Decided to go back to picking off ships sailing in ones and twos again and have been bombarded with messages from other U-Boats that are sinking. My crew and I are beginning to wonder if we are the last boat alive in the Atlantic.

Head for the NE coast of Cuba. Easy pickins. Lotsa fat T2s and T3s and I have never seen a warship in the area. Park your butt at periscope depth halfway between the easternmost tip of Cuba and the island of Hispaniola and man the hydrophone. It's a bottleneck most of them have to go thru to get to (I'm assuming) to the oilfields in Venezuela. If you don't pick up an easy 100K tons there, I don't know what to tell you. Just watch out for aircraft. (That's the other reason why I stay submerged most of the time.)
