In the stock game, no ship will leave port (it sucks, I know). You can go into the port and kill the ones at the docks if you wish. As for the task forces, they are all random. Task forces are hard to hit because they travel at very fast speeds (20 kt+). The only way to realy get one is to be lucky enough to already be in their path when you find one.
Anyways, welcome to Subsim, by far the most friendly and knowledgeable forum I've ever encountered for its size. Don't be afraided to ask questions, we're all here to help.
