New war. GWXGold + SH3 Commander + a few tweaks of my own.

Leutnant z. S. Ernst Klein commanding U-53, type VIIB.

U-Flotilla Wegener

Shakedown patrol went decently well, saving the fact I was shot at by Germans. Don't sink the target ships, even though that's what it says to do.

(Forgot about the 24 hour neutral ship deal)

Was transferred to U-flotilla Saltzwedel upon returning to base, and promptly ordered through the channel into the Atlantic. A lot of waiting and watching later, the war finally broke out and I got to lighten my sub.

U-53 and it's crew performed exceptionally well, not one hiccup.
