Nope, they're stationary, just moving around in circles.

The only reason I posted this is to warn other Captians that trying to sink this convoy is very difficult. You move in and DD's pick you up.

Evade them and close on the convoy, line up to shoot, fire, and they turn and move.

DD's pick you up again.

Evade.

Close on convoy, line up for shot, fire, same thing happens.

Its just an endless process.

Perhaps you'll have better luck than I.

I just gave up and moved on after 6 attemps and nearly 24 hours.

I've had 3 missions in which I've had to pass this area on my way, and that group has been there each time I pass.

I hope you guys have better luck than I did.
