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 : September 1940
Atlantic
United States - After months of negotiations, an agreement was announced on the 5th for the transfer of 50 valuable US destroyers to the Royal Navy in exchange for British bases in Newfoundland, Bermuda, the West lndies and British Guiana. The first of the "flushdeckers" arrived in Britain towards the end of the month for commissioning as convoy escorts. They sank their share of U-boats and suffered losses accordingly.
1st - Cruiser "Fiji" was torpedoed by "U-32" out in the North Atlantic off Rockall as she escorted troop transports for the Dakar expedition aimed at occupying Vichy French West Africa.
15th - "U-48" attacked convoy SC3 northwest of Ireland and sank sloop "DUNDEE" (below - CyberHeritage). Both "Dundee" and "Penzance", lost the previous month were long endurance ships used as anti-submarine (A/S) ocean escorts for the slow and vulnerable SC convoys.
Battle of the Atlantic - Early in the month the first wolf-pack attacks were directed by Adm Doenitz against convoy SC2. Five of the 53 ships were sunk. A similar operation was mounted two weeks later against the 40 ships of HX72. The U-boats present include those commanded by the aces Kretschmer, Preen and Schepke. Eleven ships were lost, seven to Schepke's "U-100" in one night. The German B-Service was instrumental in directing U-boats to the convoys, where they held the advantage as they manoeuvred on the surface between the merchantmen and escorts. Radar was urgently needed so the escorts could detect the U-boats, force them to dive and lose their speed advantage, then start hunting them with ASDIC.
Monthly Loss Summary
- 53 British, Allied and neutral ships of 272,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes; 2 escorts
- no German losses
