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 all eels will be more reliable. (G7a and G7e dud rate is now 1 on a D6).

Historic Notes : June 1941
Atlantic
2nd - Destroyer "Wanderer" and corvette "Periwinkle" sank "U-147" northwest of Ireland during a convoy attack.
18th - As Force H headed into the Atlantic to help search for German supply vessels already in position to support "Bismarck's" breakout, they came across a U-boat located through the recently captured "Enigma" codes off the Strait of Gibraltar. Screening destroyers "Faulknor", "Fearless", "Forester", "Foresight" and "Foxhound" shared in the destruction of "U-138".
Attacks on Halifax/UK convoy HX133 - A total of 10 U-boats attacked Halifax/UK convoy HX133 south of Iceland. Five ships were lost but the convoy escort sank two U-boats. Corvettes "Celandine", "Gladiolus" and "Nasturtium" accounted for "U-556" on the 27th, and destroyers "Scimitar" and "Malcolm", corvettes "Arabis" and "Violet" and minesweeper "Speedwell" sank "U-651" on the 29th. The escort had been reinforced to a total of 13 ships as a result of 'Ultra' intercepts of Enigma codes. This, the first of the big convoy battles, led to the development of additional convoy support groups.
22nd - Germany invaded Russia
Russian Convoys - The invasion of Russia soon led to the introduction of the Russian or Arctic convoys with their dreadful conditions and after some months had elapsed, high losses in men and ships. However, the Royal Navy's presence in the Arctic was first made known in August when submarines started operating, with some success against German shipping supporting the Axis attacks from Norway towards Murmansk. The port was never captured. Conditions with these convoys were at the very least difficult. Both summer and winter routes were close to good German bases in Norway from which U-boats, aircraft and surface ships could operate. In the long winter months there was terrible weather and intense cold, and in summer, continual daylight. Many considered that no ships would get through. The first convoy sailed in August and, by the end of the year, over 100 merchantmen had set out in both directions. Only one was lost to a U-boat. In 1942 the picture changed considerably.
Battle of the Atlantic - Following the capture of the “U-100” Enigma material, the Royal Navy tracked down the supply ships already in position to support the "Bismarck" as well as other raiders and U-boats. In 20 days, six tankers and three other ships were sunk or captured in the North and South Atlantic. From now, distant water U-boats had to be supplied by U-boat 'Milchcows' although the first purpose-built ones would not be ready until 1942.
Monthly Loss Summary
- 70 British, Allied and neutral ships of 329,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes
- 4 German and 1 Italian U-boats

U-Boat Type | Torpedo Starting Mix | Can Alter Mix By | e.g. Max G7a mix | e.g. Max G7e mix |
VIIB, VIIC | 8 x G7a and 6 x G7e | Maximum of 4 | 12xG7a, 2xG7e | 4xG7a, 10xG7e |
IXA, IXB | 12 x G7a and 10 x G7e | Maximum of 4 | 16xG7a, 6xG7e | 8xG7a, 14xG7e |
