I tracked a merchant going "medium" that turned out to be a steenkin' pelagic trawler in my last mission using hydrophones for a loooong time. Plan was to follow until I got behind it on its true median course. Finally, I knew I was right on it when the bearing changes came very quickly. Went to Uzo and discovered that I could see it in the fog as a silhouette a few hundred meters before my full-efficiency watch crew could see it. Visibility to my crew turned out to be ~ 385m.
