If so why has no one reported it till now ?
I tried an experiment over the weekend. I came accross a large task force and had ony two torpedoes left. I fired off the two torpedoes and scored a DD and slipped away. I then radioed in a convoy report and recieved the "Good find will assign assets" message. So I decided to follow the convoy a while.
I followed for a day and a half and nothing happened. Maybe they were scared of it. It was probably the biggest TF Ive seen what with two carriers and some battleships, pretty sure one was a Yamato

When I was looking at the files regarding air attacks and contact reports there were several factors involved.
The convoy you report on must be in range of an allied air base and even then there is a probality factor involved.
From memory I think it was about a 20 percent chance of an attack occouring.
So reporting on a convoy in no way will guarente an airstrike.
