That usually happens when something in The Matrix changes.
Actually, I've noticed that on occasion too. The screen will blink, or hiccup just before a TF or convoy is detected. I wonder if, and suspect there might be some correlation between this phenomenon and contacts in the game. Did you check online for any battle plan maps? RSRDC is usually pretty accurate with these things.

I found this SS patrol on it, so maybe it will help you out. I had followed it for a few days waiting on Halseys planes. Fairly sure this is the return leg, but one SS will give you a good location,

To be perfectly honest, I don't recall ever hearing about a WWII Naval Battle called "The Battle of Cape Equano". Is there another, more commonly used title for this engagement?

type Pacific Naval Battles World War 2 in your browser. A site will come up showing maps of the famous sea battles. Hit the link to Lyete Gulf. It is one of the main battles, off the coast of Cape Engano in northern Luzon. Another site advises the battle took place 200 miles to the east. Or hit this link: http://www.combinedfleet.com/battles/Leyte_Campaign. It is battle location no. 5 on the map. One of the largest IJN fleets in the Lyete episodes, and lots of carriers.

Battle of Cape Engano....where Halsey's fleet finished off the Japanese fleet during the Leyte Campaign.
