Somehting I hadn't come across yet .

Hard to say.....
I've received reports like that from time to time over the course of several careers. I've been able to intercept three times and each ended up as a small destroyer. I sank two and couldn't get a shot at the third. Never seen a enemy capital ship so you never know!

Task forces with BBs, BCs, CAs usually do about 20 knots regardless if they could go faster. When you get a very fast warship, it's a destroyer or a PT.

Alert messages. Your call or not?
From time to time we recieved notice on impending invasions and a request for all nearby patrols to assist.
How do you guys play this? I have joined in the fight whenever nearby but again I don't steam hundreds of miles out of my way. |

Oh well , I will never find out what the warship report was , worked out an intercept course and quickly ran straight into 3 ships that sank me before I could react.
