Hi all,
During the "Break the Fortress" mission as I was getting close to Scapa Flow, I was running on the surface at night and got a report that a Task Force was spotted bearing 019. That got my interest since the last time I got a report of a Task Force in was a large convoy of merchants. I could not see it visual myself so I dove to 50 meters and ordered all stop to get a few hydrophone fixes to determine the Task forces course.
The sound man reported no sound contacts. I took the sound station myself and sure enough there were no sound contacts. I surfaced and once again I got the report of a Task Force sighted. I closed the range on the bearing of the task force and found two fishing trawlers bobbing around

.......not what I would call a Task Force.

Is this just SH 5' default definition: two or more vessels of any kind = Task Force?
