Warship off the Norwegian coast in 1940

Okay, I thought I made a BAD deal when starting in Kiel. A sucky harbor with lots of frigging aircraft flying everywhere all the time, and a Zerstohrer in the way (DAMNIT! Make them more subtle, please..?). However, the southern coast of Norway proved to be a goldmine. Them Poles just kept showing up! Now, in April 1940, I can sink as many Norwegians as I want. Too bad they rarely top the C2-size.

So, off to the POINT, midst of April I was sailing around Bergen to do some... "fishing", and got a radio message. It said that somewhere, might be coordinates AF28 or something, a fast enemy warship was heading SSE (direction of Orkney). Cranked the engines to happy-go-lucky-full-full, trying to estimate where I would have to intercept.
Either I was too sloppy on them estimates, or she turned at some point. She was doing 30 knots at the time of the radio message, has anyone ever encountered this one?
