So am I wasting my time?
I left Wilhelmshaven on 2/9/40, and got lots of radio traffic that Ark Royal will be coming through the western end of the English Channel on 2/13/40, and Essex on 2/14/40. So I made the risky trip through the channel at top speed and parked myself at periscope depth, stopped, in the western mouth of the channel, waiting for them.
But I have heard nothing on sonar.
Is this just ambient radio chatter or should I really be expecting the Ark Royal to show up?
I googled her and she seems to have been sunk near Gibraltar on 2/13/40.
Am I wasting my time?
