Guess I need to check zone files and such since I test in a stock SH4.
Unless it went down so fast I missed it?

Now, I've hit it with one torpedo that "hit the magazine" (a likely excuse), and it sank in less than 3 minutes, like hitting a magic button, but usually it takes a good 10 minutes anyway to go down...
after about 4 or 5 torps - definitely needs more work than an Ise in stock... Also, I created that mission with my ME on my computer with my install, and that uses a borked Bismark in FotRS Ultimate. I don't always have issues with that, but we have seen similar behavior, with ships just up and disappearing mid-mission... If you want, post the Bismark files you have, and I'll build the same mission using your Bismark...

@cdrsubron7: I finally found a search term that worked... "massive convoy of destroyers in sh4"... anyway:
1.
Massive destroyer convoy SilentEnigma has SH4 v1.5 stock, near Tokyo. Short thread.
2.
A tale of 54 destroyers Torvald Von Mansee, with daylight pictures.
3.
Fast convoy of death! joefremont stock 1.5 from Steam.
4.
Time compression bug MRAD encounters what he supposes is a TC bug, but it's actually a bunch of destroyers causing the lag. He was at v1.3, no issues. Upgraded and updated to v1.5 and has this.
I do know there's more hits than this, 'cause I remember finding them years ago after I had it the first time... Oh well. I thought mine was in v1.3 or thereabouts, but maybe not. I didn't think I'd bought my Gold Edition disk until just a few years ago, but maybe it has been a few years... anyway, I'm not going to bother with looking through all my old files anymore, and will stick with looking through v1.5.
There isn't a whole lot in those posts that we don't know already. There's more than a couple mentions of the East China Sea, and the one mention of being near Tokyo harbor, to the South and West of the harbor, which is where I was when I had mine. The Tokyo and East China Sea could be the same MIS file, ie: a convoy from Formosa / Taiwan to Tokyo. But, there are a couple of mentions of the Coral Sea, which is East of Australia. There may be more than one MIS that has an issue... The interesting post is the one where the destroyers are sitting still. The dates, including years, are also different.
One common denominator: Time Compression. But is it a cause? Or just some bad math in the game, or bad memory allocation?
