I was starting my misson. I followed my escort vessel out of Wilhelmshaven, he turned to port heading for the enterance to the channel that goes northwards towards the North sea.
I kept expecting him to turn again to port in order to go inbetween the mine fields.

To my surprise he kept straight on. I followed him but at a safe distance. He was getting closes and closer to the bank on the East side.

Next he runs aground.

I turned about and proceded out to sea.

That captain has an easy job excorting U-boats out of port but its no excuse for his whole crew falling asleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a bit wierd, ships in ports do sometimes loose their waypoint info if you load a save while in harbour, but the fact that your escort made a turn first suggests he was still following his waypoints... i guess Bernard has finally been transferred to the surface fleet then :03:

Maybe he went on to captain tankers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exxon_valdez) after the war?

I think Bernard also commanded uboats during the first world war too, as demonstrated by this lovely bit of paralel parking...

I think that is it, I saved while in port.
