I have no trouble beliving they responded to a distress call. In fact in looking at the first map that should be pretty obvious.
It's just that i dont fear them.
The other night I was hammering an convoy from inside the middle of them pounding away with the deck gun. The escorts were on the outside and couldent figure out how to get to me and sailed in circles.
Finally an armed merchant got in range and tore me a couple of new portholes.
Fear the armed escorts more than the DD's
