Where the hell have all the ships gone?

There are two mods that come with GWX that could cause this problem.

They are
GWX - Indian Ocean Campaign Files Only
GWX - Black Sea Campaign Files Only

You didn't activate either of these by any chance?

Doing so will remove all the traffic from everywhere in the world except either the Indian Ocean or the Black Sea. They are designed to cut down on loading times if you are operating in those theatres only.

EDIT: ps. welcome aboard

As per #3 and welcome to SubSim Kaleun.

Just for the sake of it,
If indeed that you have not seen a single ship in the English Channel, try going to one of thier ports, just for the curiosity...

I know this won't help solve anything, but if indeed that there are no ship, in theory, there should be no ships in port...

Hope you solve this problem though

Good luck & good hunting

What I always found rather strange was going into British ports before the commencement of hostilities and not receiving so much as a second look nevermind any shooting.

GWX campaign mod might be the reason, but it's 100% normal to see no one for 2 weeks from 1940 onward. The ocean is vast and most ships go together in convoys. It's part of realism, and it makes you even more exciting when a gigantic convoy is sighted. Happy hunting

This was indeed the problem!
I had 'Black Sea' installed but have now removed it, thanks very much for the help guys. I was beginning to think I'd broken it, I've had this game a long time but never got around to putting GWX in to it before so I suppose it's a case of learning from the start again.

Don't worry, your not the first one to have done that, and I'll bet your not the last one either. Welcome aboard!
