Got Sub!

On patrol in Med., Nov. '41, spotted S-Class sub, chased it, deuled it out with deck guns a bit, torped it on fast bow shot (slow sinking), flakked it as I passed (tore chunks), sank bow first quick. (AP Flak takes it down the best... aside from that earlier eel) Fun to see this guy zig-zag, but I got him!

Questions for fellow Med. cruising Kaleuns:
1) Other than streaking across to the Straits of Gibraltar, what's a good Med. grid?
Since being on this set of patrols to the Med., it's been a little too quite for me. It's nice to have the much shorter routes from a base in Greece to the BdU designated patrol grid, often to CO51 or CO69. I bagged a Brit. passenger (2311 tn), skipped submerged from 3 Brit. destroyers routing to Tobruk ports, not much!
2) The patrol grids to the east of the Med. stop between Tobruk & Alexandria (does the edge of the world end here?) :hmm: , is there better hunting around Alexandria?
I'm up for trying some big in-port raids.

If you can give me some early tips, a big "Danke" to you in advance.
