Last night while on patrol, 1945 enroute to an56, in an XXI, I picked up the faint sound of a group of ships that also contained a small carrier. The sound that the carrier makes is very distinctive and having sunk two in previous patrols I was sure it was a Bogue in a hunter killer group.

I had my sonar operator (experience-10 patrols) make many sonar sweeps but he got no contacts. When I manned the sonar station, the sound was deafening and by my best estimate less than 20,000 meters away yet no contact ever showed up on the F5 screen.

I clicked many times on the checkmark in the upper right corner of the screen, while listening to the contacts, which usually will give me a contact line, but nothing.

Does this happen to other users of GWX?
