Watch officers not reporting visual contact.....

I started a new campaign, 1st fleet with a type IIA (U-4), 1939, and this very thing happened just the other night.
We came upon a lone tug boat (1100 tons) acting as a patrol craft.
Seas flat and calm, sky clear. One watch officer and one watch trained petty officer still let the tug get within 2300 meters, and did not call out a warning. I was the one who spotted this ship and took action, but they did not say anything. I put that down to "inexperience" as the war just started...
