Quickest patrol ever

I'm still bangin my head over this. I'll be the laughing stock of the whole Kriegsmarine when they hear about this. I'm running GW 1.1 and was leaving Kiel. I was headed to AM41. I had just put a new MAN supercharger on. I ordered ahead flank to get out of the harbor quicker. I went back to the nav map and upped the TC a little. Next thing I hear is bumping and grinding sounds. I go to the bridge and see my harbor escort in front of me! That stupid watch officer didn't even alert me to the ship's presence! After I order back emergency, and clear the escort, only then does my watch officer say "Ship spotted." No fake Shirlock! Mr. McGoo could have seen that ship! That little incident took my hull integrity down to 80%. There was no way I was going to go all the way to AM41 with only 80% hull integrity. Needless to say I slowly made my way back to the quay I had just left a couple minutes before.
