This could be a mistake. ASDIC is notorious for giving false readings due to old wrecks thermoclines - or layers of water at different temperatures, or even whales or schools of fish. Circling the area leaves your ship further and further behind the convoy and leaves it short one escort ship. The escort commander sends you a sharply worded signal to get back on station!



What should your captain order?

A. Return to your escort station - Returning to your stations help protect the convoy. You can always respond to any future contacts.

B. Ask permission to stay on the hunt for another thirty minutes.
