I have just started first war mission for SHV in command of boat assigned at start. Am still in the Keil canal learning the new UI mod from DW and working up my boat and crew. I am determined to improve moral and establish confidence in them for myself as Kapitain, and in our fine boat. We have a long way to go but he is a good ship and my former commander left them in my charge. It is a fine moonlit night and what more could a sailor man wish for than a fine ship, a fine crew and sea room and water under his keel?  (Keil )  :)
