[Markus Witt]

Just 2 days after departure I run into a group of destroyers. To avoid them I turn towards the continental shelve with the intention to circle around them. For the rest of the morning I try to avoid various destroyers and airplanes which force me further onto the continental shelve. Finally late in the afternoon I’m clear and return to my course. Late in the evening I run into another destroyer and as I turn away I spot yet another destroyer behind me (or the same one has changed course?). For the next 11 hours this destroyer stays behind me while I travel at flank speed. A few times It disappears from sight but each time I try to return to my course it is there again. At one point I am convinced I’m dealing with the sticky destroyer bug and I come very close to quitting the game. Finally however I am able to shake it off and return to course. Very strange experience, it seemed to follow me but never attacked. In hindsight I think I was dealing with a destroyer that was by chance travelling in the same direction as me at probably 16 knots. With flank speed I was just barely able to outrun it and each time I changed towards my intended course it came back into view. Just a very unlucky coincidence and this destroyers never knew I was there. Attached detailed charts of these encounters.
