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 : July 1941
Atlantic
Iceland - US forces landed in Iceland to take over the defence of the island and surrounding seas from Britain.
Battle of the Atlantic - Continuous escort was now being provided for convoys to North America and from West Africa. Three new convoys were introduced: UK/North America Fast, ONF; UK/North America Slow, ONS - the two replacing the Outward Bound, OB's; UK/Sierra Leone, OS.
Air cover from Ireland, Iceland and Newfoundland was improving, but RAF Coastal Command lacked the aircraft to cover the mid-Atlantic gap. It was in this area, some 800 miles wide the U-boats were now concentrating. Between January and June 1941, North Atlantic merchant shipping losses had averaged 300,000 tons per month. From July to December 1941 they were considerably down at an average level of 104,000 tons. The reasons were varied - evasive convoy routing and more effective aircraft deployment from the 'Ultra’ work, introduction of radars and high frequency direction finding (HF/DF), the availability of more escorts, and continuous escort. Losses due to German aircraft were also well down as many were transferred to the Russian front.
Monthly Loss Summary
23 British, Allied and neutral ships of 98,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes
