Hey,

I was trying to intercept a convoy the other day. I got closer using the hydrophone, but in the last part i went up to the surface to get enough speed to overcome the convoy. Clear, perfect weather by the way.

A minute later, my deck watch got sight of the first destroyer. I immediately turned away and ordered ahead flank in order to get ahead of the convoy for a good shot (I was going for the juicy Nelson in the middle!).

But then one of the destroyers got sight of me... I tried again, the same happened.

My question: can destroyers always see further than your deck watch? It has to be, he was at the extremeties of my visual range...
