19:38 -Updated many sections in our management part of this site. This enables us to maintain the site better and bring new features.
Also improved the front page, what's new and the archives and polished the books section a bit.
18:48 - Improved the U-boat patrols database (linked to non-war patrols U-boat sailings as well) and also added a very interesting map to each Wolfpack page showing the operational area of each boat while in the pack.
00:56 - Daily positions of U-boats
I have worked on adding daily positions of U-boat movements that were not war patrols and also adding to the main database, fix positions and such. 2.624 new entries have been added and a few thousand updated. Now there are 129.989 entries in there, 90,9% visible on maps.
02:30 - Daily positions of U-boats
Added 4.485 entries to this database (filling in various gaps, making this almost complete now - minor work left) which now has 126.361 entries (about 90% have positions).
21:01 - Daily positions of U-boats
Updated or added positions of 2.470 days when U-boats attacked allied vessels. Stay tuned for more such improvements.
18:48 - Daily positions of U-boats
This huge project is finally online in our members area, The Conning Tower! Right now it has 121.877 daily positions of which over 94% are visible on maps when needed.Sorry for the wait on this one but I am sure it was worth it :) This is one of the largest events in our 9-year history.
In addition to the items shown here above we made some 651 additions or changes in our databases during October 2004.
