I got a sound contact from a warship travelling away at high speed, about 25 km out. Then a minute or so later, a grey "ship sunk" icon showed up on the map on the general area of where the warship was. Was this a fellow uboat that got sunk? It was in the "hunting grounds" just NW of Ireland, so I doubt that a German warship or even a German merchant would've been in that vicinity. Any ideas? I also had another similar occurence later in the same mission in the other "hunting grounds" just South of Ireland. Any ideas??
