so i was heading to my patrol grid(DT56) and was off the coast of spain when i got a radio transmission saying enemy warship reported. The report showed a contact north of england so i didn't pay attention to it. Then, the contact kept updating itself along the path i had taken when i rounded northern england. all the way down to spain. I desided to try to intercept this mysterious contact when it reached the coast of spain but could not find it and hte contact seemed to vanish in the direction of gibraltar.
so could this have been a lone DD or a BB/CV on its way to the med? year is feb/march 1940
