Near Misses - When Possibilies Aren't Endless

[Commander Gizmo]

I don't get it. I have had near collisions with ships out in the middle of the ocean at least 9 times in my past 4 patrols. A task force nearly ran me over, with the center capital ship column lined right up on my position. Several American merchants that were going to cross my path did so at such a point that I had to slow down to let them pass without incident. Three resupply boats managed to cross my path in the mouth of the channel so that I had to alter course to avoid hitting them.

Is it just me or is this exceedingly unlikely? I'm starting to think that everyone in the Atlantic knows my movements before I do!
