Uboat patrol length?

jmr · 06-02-07, 12:37 AM

Something I've often wondered about but couldn't find any concrete info so I thought I'd ask here. For example, in my Type VII based in Saint Nazaire my patrols can last a little over a month (sometimes less than that) as it doesn't take long to find the action. I feel a little guilty returning home so soon but I guess that was the norm for Type VII's? I'm assuming the TypeIX's would have longer patrols given their greater range?
