Good evening Gentleman, I won't take much of your time, as I know that you have to prepare for tomorrow morning.
Special Instructions: Patrols from August 1940 will start and finish from La Rochelle and use Bay of Biscay table for first and last transit boxes of each patrol.
If you have been allocated a Special Mission (Mine Laying, Wolfpack Patrol or Abwehr Agent Delivery) please receive instructions from the Executive Officer as early as you can, because you will not be leaving Port until you do.
Ensure that your torpedo load has been checked before departure and that the G7a's have been loaded into the tubes where possible.:
With the changes ordered by the Vizeadmiral , this should now ensure that your G7a and G7e torpedoes have similar success and so the electric eels will me more reliable. (G7a and G7e dud rate is now 1-2 on D6).

Historic Notes : August 1940
Atlantic
Radar - A British scientific mission carried to the United States details of many important developments. Amongst these was the recently invented cavity magnetron, vital for short wavelength radar and the eventual defeat of conventional U-boats.
10th - Two more ex-liners recommissioned as armed merchant cruisers of the Northern Patrol were lost to U-boat attacks to the north of Ireland. "TRANSYLVANIA" was torpedoed and sunk by "U-56" on the 10th. The second was lost at the end of the month.
20th - Submarine "Cachalot "on Bay of Biscay patrol sank the returning "U-51" off Lorient, western France
24th - An attack by "U-37" on the first Slow Cape Breton/UK convoy SC1 to the southeast of Greenland led to the loss of a merchantman and sloop "PENZANCE".
27th/28th - The second AMC of the Northern Patrol lost to the north of Ireland was "DUNVEGAN CASTLE" to "U-46" on the night of the 27th/28th.
Battle of the Atlantic - Long range Focke Wulf Kondor bombers started patrols off the coast of Ireland from a base near Bordeaux. As well as spotting for U-boats they attacked and sank many ships, and continued to be a major threat until the introduction of ship-borne aircraft in late 1941 started to counteract them.
Monthly Loss Summary
- 39 British, Allied and neutral ships of 190,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes; 2 armed merchant cruisers, 1 sloop
- 1 German U-boat.
Europe
1st - Submarine "SPEARFISH" on patrol in the North Sea was torpedoed and sunk by "U-34".
3rd - Mines laid off the German North Sea coast by RN destroyers continued to claim victims. "U-25" was lost as she headed out for Atlantic patrol.
RAF - Luftwaffe Battle of Britain was in progress
Royal Navy Codes - These were changed and for the first time operational signals were secure from German interception and decoding. it would be another three years before the convoy codes were made safe from the German B-Service.
