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 : September 1941
Atlantic
Attacks on Halifax/UK Convoys - attacks on these convoys southwest of Iceland led to the first success and loss by Royal Canadian Navy forces in the Battle of the Atlantic. Against SC42, "U-501" was sunk by Canadian corvettes "Chambly" and "Moosejaw" on the 10th. Next day RN destroyers "Leamington" and "Veteran" of 2nd EG sank "U-207". But in exchange, SC42 lost 16 of its 64 merchantmen. A few days later, on the 19th, Canadian corvette "LEVIS" with SC44 was lost to "U-74" southeast of Cape Farewell.
Battle of the Atlantic - Escort carrier "Audacity" sailed with UK/Gibraltar convoy OG74. Her American-built Martlet fighters shot down the first Kondor to fall victim to an escort carrier, but U-boats still managed to sink five merchantmen. The US Navy started to escort HX and ON convoys between Newfoundland and Mid Ocean Meeting Point (MOMP), south of Iceland, where the Royal Navy took over. Five US destroyers begin on the 17th with HX150 (50 ships). Earlier on the 4th, the first incident occurred when US destroyer "Greer" on passage to Iceland was in action with "U-652". There was no damage or loss to either ship. The increased number of U-boats available to Adm Doenitz (approaching 200 with 30 operational) allowed him to establish patrol lines in the Atlantic. It was into these that the two SC convoys 42 and 44 (above), had stumbled with such heavy losses. Convoys SL87 and HG73 also lost badly and the four convoys between them saw a total of 36 merchant ships go down.
Monthly Loss Summary
- 53 British, Allied and neutral ships of 200,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes, and 1 escort
- 2 German and 2 Italian U-boats
