What I mean is, they can be impossible to find if they get even 1000 m away in dense fog.... naturally if you know their course exactly, you can find them again, usually, but if you are even a little off, you can slip past them and never know it. And, of course, you don't know how fast they are moving or if they are even moving at all.
I once crippled a BB (I knew, because it vanished from the hydrophones). Since I had to dodge escorts for a while, it was long gone in the fog when I resurfaced. Had to wait 12 or so hours of game time before the fog lifted so that I could see she was 5000m off. If it had been a medium cargo, I am not sure I would have had the patience.
