Does anybody know the maximum range in which a BB can make visual contact?

I am asking because right now I am in Dec 1941 intercepting an IJN Task Force heading to Borneo. I am 12km away from them........they are going at high speed (so no sonar could have spot me, thinking in a correct simulation of escorts sensors, and no radar available in that time (if it were, my signal would be very week I guess...) so why I'm being spotted from so far??

Anybody?

Using TMO, RSRD for TMO and traveller 2.6

Greetings!
