Staying near ports is a sure way to encounter targets, but mostly escorts too...so you are asking for trouble


Consult your Captain's Log frequently and watch for convoy reports there, then anticipate a possible interception.


Inside your patrol zone (as for your current mission) any encounter chance is increased.

Great Advice .. The only way to find targets even when it is a nice day
