Just ran into a strange bug... I ran into a small convoy consisting of one Bogue (I think) carrier escort and four destroyers. I was observing via the attach periscope when the convoy simply disappeared. This was in DJ15 on 9/10/1943 at 6:26 am.

So I reloaded an older save, and manouvered into position, and then using the external view, watched the entire convoy simply vanish. All in all, pretty annoying

I have seen a dissappearing single ship near the Norwegian coast. Could create the situation at will.

Think it was in version 1.2 , not sure though

If a convoy or task force continued all its way to port, we should see vessels approaching port, lining up to be unloaded ect. It is logical that the developers avoid all this by just letting ships disappear at some point in their way... but it would be convenient to happen only if no U-boat is nearby. Probably impossible... one might start shadowing a convoy near the end of its voyage, what then? let the ships run aground? Sooner or later it is bound to happen that someone sees a ship disappear I guess.

Seen the same TF ,same date but different loctation AM 52 but in my case none had survived.Sank the Bogue and her 4 escorts then high tailed it out of there just to end up in the middle of a convoy which didn't fair much better all in all a very good day for the crew of U-51
