I've only come across a commerce raider(outside of base) once. It was in the Med and my lookouts reported a ship. We closed to investigate and it was a German commerce raider, already awash to the decking. You could hear the bulkheads creaking even on the surface. We pulled in close and 'pretended' to take off survivors and made a trip to Salamis to 'drop' them off.

Don't know who sunk her, but since we were in range of Allied airbases I figure the RAF. I was suprised that a commerce raider would even be sent to the Med. Not too many places to hide there if you cannot submerge.
