This happened to me sunday (6/10). I was on patrol in the East China Sea, when I pick up a convoy on my radar. I was to close to get in a good position to fire torpedoes. So I race further ahead at Flank speed and angle my course to get in front of the convoy and went down to about 200'. The escorts detected me an ran a few depth charge runs with no effect. Two of the escorts circled around me as I waited for the convoy to get to me before I going to periscope depth. Long story shortened, I sat there for and hour and no convoy.
I went to external view camera, several times, and looked at the convoy, about 7000-8000 yds away, just sitting there with no movement at all.
Has anyone else experienced this?
