Newb Captain keeps getting killed.

Hi,

I'm brand new at this and I'm having a real problem with it. My 3rd or 4th mission sends me to a plot that's south of Ireland. I can't make it through the English channel without getting sunk. It's early 1940. I'm as cautious as can be sometimes sitting on the bottom dead still trying to wait out the English but they eventually find me. If I move dead slow, they just find me sooner. There can be as many as 10 ships on my map at a time.
Am I supposed to go all the way around the other way? What can I do to make it through in one piece? The game has stopped being fun cause I can't avoid getting DC'ed to death. Any suggestions besides playing something else?

Thanks,

Bob
