In real life they usualy anchor outside the actual port.
The port and docking facilities aren't capable of handling that large volume of shipping at one time.

First of all, sorry to dig up a dead thread, but it's been a busy week, and I hadn't had time to load up GWX for a few days.

Here's the story

The second numbers may not be 100% accurate, cause I'm not 100% sure I'm going the griding right

Convoy encountered in CG76 - 89
Bearing 120 degrees (with 0 as north)
Continued for 185 km

*Large Merchant Sunk!

Convoy turns to new bearing 65 degrees
Continued for 72.5 km

Conovy turns to new bearing 130 degrees
Continued for 45km

Convoy turns to 70 degress in CG88 - 55
I am 8 km away from it's previous course when it turns

* A&B destroyer sunk!

Convoy continues for 12.5 km at 70 degrees and then vanishes with no trace, including the escort that was within 2 km of me

Feb 23, 1941 sometime between 5-9 local time

Distance from Gibraltar to vanish point by the ruler - 518 km

If your location details and co-ordinates are correct it would appear that the MKF44 Convoy has discovered the Gibraltar Triangle.
