How could you lose that many good sailors? Did you leave a hatch open when you submerged?

What you ran into, and it is rare, is a group reaching the end of its assigned path (waypoints).

In the mission editor, when creating a group, you designate a path of waypoints for it to move along. One option is to have it repeat the path, another is for it to delete at the last waypoint.

This was done, probably to avoid waste of memory. Groups have a timeframe to appear, sail, and then go away. It takes too much RAM to keep the whole campaign active all the time.

If nothing else, I hope you've realized that taking on enemy warships with your guns is NOT A GOOD IDEA.

Even in a confrontation with one, count 'em one, destroyer, you will always be outgunned on the surface. A task force? Fuhgeddaboudit.

Periscope depth, running silent, target the carrier, and send every eel in a forward tube hot and fast in her direction. Then dive and get the heck outta there.

No gun battles with enemy warships... EVER!
