U-201 returns safely to port. Exhausted and a bit worse for wear but still alive.
After 3 patrols U-201 has sunk 16 ships for a tonnage of 110000 GRT. A total of 36 torpedoes have been launched so far of which 22 hit and 14 missed, 3 of the misses were confirmed torpedo failures. In all U-201 has been on patrol for 89 days, 21 hours and 44 minutes and a total of 13551 Nm have been covered, an average of just over 150 nM per day.

Very interesting read as always. Here's to long and successful service to U-201 and its crew

That these reports weren't nominated for Best of Subsim award is our huge oversight.
