I had a similar moment with TC. Encountered some large cargo and sank it with the deck gun (it really took a lot of hits to go down; I had only round a hundred of 88 mm rounds to begin with and I as their number rapidly declined, I began to wonder if it's possible to sink it at all but I guess then the waterline shots started to pay off). Anyway, set the speed to 1/3, set new course and only when I started pressing the numpad + key did I start to realise that my new course was to the RIGHT of my current one which, by coincidence, was the same side my unfortunate target was. "You got to be kidding me", I thought only to be interrupted with some damage reports and the ending screen. Last save was only three hours of attacking a convoy twice during the night and avoiding the depth charge runs of some vicious and well equipped destroyers ago. Yay!
