Edited to add: the Manila agent mission CTDed 20km from the drop zone as we sat dead in the water waiting for night. We'd just detected a nearby fishing boat and an incoming plane from the S. I heard the engine while using the cam to check out the fishing boat details, then went back to the control room and set TC to 30.

USS Balao 12/13/43, on another attempt at the agent drop, not long before dawn in the Verde Island Passage between Luzon and Mindoro, had finally shaken off a large escorted convoy which had been moving along our path all night, when a single plane appeared moving S. Curious about this night flyer, we stayed on the surface as it approached 10 km off our bow, then the game CTDed. There was nothing else on the map.
