Nav Chart Accurate ?

You Old Squids must have this all down, solid... *I* am a bit bewildered. I am on my very first patrol. On the grid, doing a pattern... I'm not really sure what to do, but I am cruising along at 1/3 , in heavy seas, looking for targets. I guess you run in X1 Time on the surface or submerged... higher on the Chart? I have the bug moving along on the chart when up pops the square symbol for a slow ship. I change course to intercept her.... and when I get there.. 'merging' symbols on the chart... Nothing is there! Now, I suppose it is cheating to use the Nav Chart for finding targets, but for THIS mission, I'd settle for ANYTHING that got me in a position to learn my TDC, etc.

How can it be that a ship symbol is on the Chart... when none is there ??
