Hello,
8th patrol, 23km west from BF17. Task force on a course N(I saw it because I have map updatse on) and I was in a good position for intercept. Anyway, a Whale Factory Ship came into view and I thought I could get into a position for it's intercept and still have room to intercept the task force. Bad idea. Factory ship steaming at 12 kts. Then I immediately headed back to the task force's track at flank bells. Approached the track and dived for a sound check. There it was bearing 045 way off. TGB! I checked the ships view, you know, the < > buttons and there was a Carrier!

Lesson learned: If youre in a position to intercept a Task Force, never let anything get in the way of achieving that goal!
