I've seen this before.
Just a couple of days ago I was chasing a sound contact in poor visibility. Finally spotted the steamer about 300 meters off the port side. Foggy but still plainly visible, broadside to us at 270. My guys didn't see it for like 5 minutes.
I was standing on the bridge with them. I wanted to go, "Guys! Guys!!!! LOOK!"
TC in poor weather can kill ya. My last career ended when I was TCing through rough seas and a destroyer found us.
