Test: U-boat sighting

All right, Rookie. Forget what they taught you on shore. Now your real training begins. Here's your first challenge:
Your ship is on convoy duty. Your position is on the starboard front part of the escort screen. An escort ship on the rear port side of the escort signals that it has seen a U-Boat periscope. What should your captain's response be?

A. Order the merchant ships to tighten up so you can protect them more easily


B. Start producing a smoke screen to hide the convoy from possible u-boats


C. Stay in your position until otherwise ordered but go to action stations to get your cannon and depth charges ready


D. Leave your position and head directly towards the position of the sighting
