I was on a GWX pre-war patrol, 23 Augustish. Tracked for a little while a sonar contact, surfaced, and made way to it. Spotted it a short while later and dove.

Started making out the details on this potential target, four masts, center stack. Nothing too impressive. I was about to make a range estimate when it disappeared. Not sunk, not exploded, disappeared. I kinda did a double take, tracked the periscope left and right real quick, zoomed out, did a full 360, but to no avail. There was no longer a ship there.

Anybody ever have this happen to 'em?
