Finding Task Forces

In the Atlantic I ran into a TF once. I was somewhere west od Spain when a TF was reported W of Ireland. I could see that if it did not change course, it would pass less than 100 kilometres from my position in 27 hours. I moved to intercept its track.

Sure enough, I heard them on my hydrophone, adjusted my position. Managed to bag a Revenge.

Anyway, it's a rare event and you only have a few seconds to fire your torpedoes.

they go through gibraltar often. You can catch them on their way straight down the continent towards the mouth of gibraltar. Hang out anywhere along their path, and you're good. Sometimes you get multiple radio reports. mark each location exactly and draw a line. You can figure out teh perfect intercept this way. A VIIB with full superchargers can pull 21kts, just like a fast TF.
