Mheh. Reminds me of my first forays into SH5, before I added OHII to the mod mix, where I found this one Polish freighter stuck in Kiel when I skipped the tutorial and started my first patrol on September 3rd. Obviously it hadn't gotten out yet on that date, so I just ignored it. Wasn't sure that opening fire in my own port, even though the target was now a belligerent, would be a good idea. So I return on the 15th, only to find the silly thing still sitting there. The AI obviously had trouble plotting a course out of there for it and, for some reason, none of the German war ships in Kiel had the heart to sink it.

So I did. With the deck gun. In broad daylight. I wasn't about to have my crew switch to whisper mode (enemy ship nearby) every time I tried to enter or leave my own port.

I got the tonnage for it too. Almost felt bad about that.

Anyway. Are you using OHII? If not, those ships may disappear when you advance to the next "level" on the campaign screen. Or you can just decide to grab some easy tonnage by blasting the snot out of them.
