Where's that Carrier?

I've been circling around the area the BdU said the Carrier might be. Found merchants and one big task force but no carrier.

Try to follow the aircraft, they are carriers. Often the carrier is detected in such a way.
Most carrier cruising in the southern part of area

Attacking merchants can help. I attacked a lone merchant in the area. Two destroyers came to investigate. That seemed odd to me given the location so I followed them. Turned out they were part of the carrier's task force. Result was one dead carrier.

So anyways if you start seeing planes and come across a merchant ship make your presence known. If the carrier is close enough it will send escorts to investigate.

I did spot a Swordfish Torpedo-Bomber fly over me and no near airbase. Should've figured out something was odd.

Be sure to submerge and check the hydrophone from time to time as well. You'll hear more than you can see at times.
