HI All,
15th patrol, assigned area CC22, I think - off Norfolk, USA anyway. It has taken days at slow speed to get this far, but now there's less than 1000 km to go...But Wait! Priority message from BdU: Task force spotted, course SE, speed 7kts - my first task force, this is too good to be true!

And it was

: The TF is north of New Foundland, and they are just under 1000 km away! That will cost a lot of fuel, and if they change course, I'll never find them. Even if they don't, I'll probably never find them, unless I'm really, really precise with my plot!

So I decided to struggle on towards my patrol area... But my question is: What would YOU have done?
