Put yourself in the merchant captains place. You have a ship with NO guns
or DCs. Your top speed is 12 kts. You know an enemy sub has been detected and is submerged out there somewhere. What do you do?
1. You can outrun it submerged but not surfaced.
2. You don't know where it is.
Options: Turning and varying your speed is the ONLY thing you can do.
Not too reassuring, is it....
