Where's that Auxilary Cruiser in Scapa Flow?

In one of the 3rd party manuals (I think the wiki comm. manual, but its been down so I couldn't check) it gives a listing of some capital ship locations, where and when they are. And there is supposed to be an Auxilary Cruiser in Scapa Flow from Feb 10-Mar 20, 1941. Well I snuck into Scapa Flow harbor on March 19th '41, and there is no Aux. Cruiser in sight, but there is a Fiji Lt. Cruiser sitting there. Is this a typo in the manual, or is something else that I'm unaware of going on here? Are the dates only approximations? I thought it was accurate dates, not approximations, but again I couldn't double check the wiki manual because its been down, originally I just wrote down the dates of the capital ship locations from the wiki comm. man., and didn't have all the details with me at the moment. Can anyone shed some light on this? Scapa Flow is a good sized harbor, so I thought the cruiser might be hiding in some nook or cranny, but I looked all over with the external view, and found nothing. And why is there now mention of the Fiji in those dates in the wiki com man? It lists the one in Loch Ewe from May 17 1940-Jan 1, 1945, so why wouldn't it list this one at Scapa Flow that I just found? Was this just an overlooked detail? Argh, what's going on? Please help.

I'm not that sure about it anymore but the dates were approximate i believe...

Anyway, if that cruiser is in Scapa you should find it in the most North western part of the place. Not all too far away from the coastline actually.

The aux. cruisers hug the coast a lot inside Scapa Flow. I sank one and then hide along side the wreck while the destroyers hunted for me.
