Docked ships disappearing?

Tis odd that all disappeared but ships have end dates on them when they will vanish when they reach it
It may be that you were there at that time

What was the date ?

End date....you were drunk...hallucinating....Philadelphia/Dunkirk experiment....fog....result of an air attack....take yer pick

Alright, you got me there, mate.

Bernard slipped me some of his homemade Schnaps. We had a few sips "for the Vaterland", then a few shots for courage...
Afterwards we decided to "pay the Franzosen a visit"...

Ok, but now seriously.
There was fog, alright. But I closed to a few hundred meters to the troop transports former position. Nuttin' there.

Really, they just vanished. *POOF*

The only plausible explanation is the thing BBW mentioned. I can't really remember if we crossed midnight while closing in. Maybe the ships had their expiry date set on that particular time. Dunno.

All joking aside....BBW is probably right

I didn't know about the date thing, but it would explain the vanishing convoy I hit once. I was trailing it, had a great sonar contact, but suddenly it was just gone.

The Br ships in Dunkirk vanish at 2300hr on the 3rd June 40
Most of them anyway
Some are before

Yes could well have been the same with the convoy although I suspect that it reached its last waypoint so then disappeared

Yeah, it's may '40 in my campaign right now, so I guess that's it.

Well, seems the "french Wunderwaffe" is just a scripted event...

I find ships popping into existence rather scarier... as happened when I lay in port in Calais patching together my gun decks after an angry torpedo boat zoomed by in the fog.

"Ship sighted, herr kaleun!"

"Um... where did that great big passenger liner come from? It must have gone past us to get there... Have you been sneaking off into port on your black market activities again, obergefreiter?"
