Default They're out of reach

Go find some targets. These aren't it because they're already gone.

You've recreated the heartache just about every sub in the Pacific went through as they watched that BB or CV just blow by just out of reach. The only thing they could accomplish was to attract the attention of the escorts, who would just gang up and have a party at the sub's expense. The captains just sighed and let 'em go. To hit a fast task force, you have to be in a very narrow cone in front of them. Well in front of them. It's the toughest approach there is.
