go through the straits of Gilbrator and the port north as soon as you get through it, wait towards the bottom of the inlet. Fleets come and go out of there about every 4-7 days, normally cruisers, battleships and flat-tops. As soon as your in the port shut your engines down and stay at periscope depth and face Southeast. You'll have constant enemy destroyers around but they wont mess with you. Just hang tight and you'll notice the red lines coming from your sonar detection on the nav map getting closer. If theres about 5 to seven or more, more then likely its a carrier and battleship fleet coming in to resupply. Good luck

You r right ''jimmie1974'' I did what exacly u explained but what about THE SECOND ONE??? I sunk the first one (FLATTOP) which comes with battleships, they keep them in the ring (like a circly) just out of the Gilbrator (SOUTHEAST SIDE) ... After that they keep coming in couple of days but there is no more aircraft carrier in it...
Please help me out of this its been like 4 days in real

i am driving crazy still searching for it but there is no more flattop left...

Just hang near Gibraltar, use the external cam to check contacts. That's how I won it.

Waited outside Gibraltar for 2 months of game time, spotted dozens of task groups, but none with the second carrier...
