Grossly disappointing and abysmally embarrassing.

Yeah, I've got well out of the habit of chasing distant contacts. If I can't get to an intercept position in 6 hours or less then I usually won't bother. The chance of a course alteration in the meantime is too high, and the reported course may not have been accurate anyway - I don't know how the game models this, but I assume there's a margin of a few degrees between how a course is reported and what it actually is. It certainly seems that way.

As far as the continuing career of Commander Glenn goes, I'd vote for something along these lines:

To: COMSUBPAC & All Ships At Sea
SS-168 at location 25*20'N by 156*53'E Tanks empty. Requesting rescue. 11/17/1943...

Gael awoke with a start, sitting bolt upright in bed. Beside him, nurse Perkins stirred drowsily. "Wha's matter - Y'ok?..."

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a crazy dream....."

It was good enough for the writers of Dallas after all.......
