I had a similar experience in a different context. In career mode I departed Perth on a patrol, and pulled in to Exmouth Gulf up the coast to refuel. As I pulled up to the Anchor symbol, there was no sign of any supply ships/tenders for my resupply. (Exmouth Gulf has no port). However the Refit or Dock At symbol appeared and worked. My fuel was replenished (instantly!), and as I departed the area, some ships suddenly materialised. In total there were 3 ships, 2 stationary oil tankers, and one patrolling escort. Seems to me there is a game glitch, where there is a delay in spawning the required objects in certain circumstances.

I once got lifeguard duty in career mode. This was in the Solomon Islands. When I got there, I could see a lot of contacts on the map marked as Survivors. I tried to get close to pick them up but could never spot them with my binoculars. I eventually tried submerged (since it seems my sonar man is so good he can hear a survivor swimming!!) and got really close to one of them. When I surfaced, he was nowhere to be found! Then I took a look with the external camera and found that the damned pilot was underwater! Yes just a couple of feet below the surface!! I hope this gets fixed in the next patch too!
