Longest Patrol (Distance)

Now that I think of it, I think my farthest patrol has been to...*thinks some more* I want to say the west coast of India in early 1944 in my IXD2 (also turned out to be my last patrol...got swarmed by two British DDs and a Free French corvette coming back to Lorient in May of '44). Very little shipping there, Kaleuns. I think I bagged two coastal merchants there and that was it (nice deck gun practice though).

Now into my second career, I'm in December of 1942, on what number patrol I can't remember, but I'm in a IXC patrolling the Brazillian coast. Current tonnage is something like 154,000 tons (poor, I know). Let's sink more of der Englander schwein!
