Patrol 19 - CA73

Pevs86 · 03-12-07, 11:30 AM

Got about 2/3rds of my patrol grid covered in land, putting me at a maximum of maybe 25km from Norfolk before leaving the grid.

Gonna be a tough 24hours...

Anyone know what Naval activity is like at Norfolk in April 1942?

This maybe the first time I regret using a Type IX

No idea on activity -- but look out for the minefields, they extend up and down the coast , well into sea.

I would go over the continetal shelf on the surface at night, depth of keel at 6 meters. Enter patrol square, stop and settle on the bottom. Then I would hope to find tankers in deeper water. I imagine air activity to be fairly frequent. I was attacked by PBY at night in Caribbean (Dec 41 Stock SH3). No clue what GWX has done there.

I'd do my 24, sitting there as quiet as a mouse, and then move on to CA79
