I had just finished painstakingly sneaking into Gibraltar for some juicy hunting. Well, there wasn't anything juicy but there were quite a few fair targets anyway. Anyway, after a bit I get a "capital ship" proximity alert and raise my scope to see a carrier escorted by about six other warships bearing down on me at medium range. So, I lower my scope and begin a turn to line up for a good spread shot. Raise my scope and bloody hell - there is nothing there - not even a single destroyer. :damn:

Her Majesty's Ghost Fleet of Gibraltar. Shiver me timbers, lads.
End of voyage way point, when ships reach there final way point they go "poof!" It has been around since SHIII & IV. That's why I never camp near a harbor.

Rememeber someone posted a screenshot of a convoys last way point where the ships had not been set to 'de-spawn' it was cluttered harbour with a huge 'pile up' of vessles, literally! :woot:

That makes sense Takao, I mean after a flawed loose end in the game fashion. I guess I either need to sink what I find anchored there or get out in the channel leading in before trying to peg a task force. The big disappointment was that it was the first capitol ship I had a real shot at after three "game years", the other being a heavy cruiser or battleship that was at a great distance and moving too fast to hit. That carrier was only 800-900 meters away and would have been ripe for a salvo.
Let it gooooo...let it goooo.... :nope:
:shifty:
Back to the hunt :)
I'm goin' down
