Default New variation on the Ghost Ship bug?

USS Gato, ex-Midway, en route to ECS assignment, on 4/19/43 @ 2030 encountered and sank a solitary Horai Maru moving at 7 kts ESE, location 47km, 109 degrees from the central pier at Miyazaki. We received no credit, nor was there a sinking marker on the map.

The only other Horai we had recently encountered was part of a four-ship convoy 150 km to the NE over 18 hours earlier. I've not seen this happen in both a group and solitary before. Is this something else?

Also note the unusual speed for a Horai.
