Have you checked the date in the supply info screen (press F1)? Could be that it was still there when you plotted the course but the time of arrival was outside its supplyperiod.

Other than that, they always drift a bit. Use a box pattern of 3 by 3 around its map position and keep a look out for it.

Try submerging a few times....you can hear further than you can see.

Take her down a little past periscope depth for best results. :sunny:

That's because units that aren't docked will be prone to a little drift, especially in bad weather.

The U-tankers are scripted to patrol a tight figure of eight or similar pattern.

Use your UZO to lock on to UTanker and manuver towards her but, be very carefull. :haha:
