[1.22] Ship placement in battle

[hawkeye]

So I'm playing Chin China in 1902 and am in a war with Russia.

After a bunch of cruiser engagements (often with Russia fielding all of two DDs) and coastal raids, I finally get a battleship engagement - hossa, finally I can sink the Russian Navy.

So I spawn with three BBs and a CA near Singapur - without any DDs, even though, while the Russian have hardly any DDs left, I have more than 30 available.
Oh well, let's see if we can sink something anyway.

So I go to Ultra Fast and lo-and-behold, the game suddenly slams in the breaks and goes to normal.
Enemy Ship Sightet!

Where, where, where - um, there is no ship in sight.
Looking more closely at the message, it actually reads: DD so-and-so has spotted an enemy ship
Wait a second, I don't _have_ a DD in my fleet.

So I double-click on the message and my viewpoint on the map jumps from East of Shanghai all the way North to Port Arthur.
And wouldn't you believe it, there are two of my Destroyer Divisions, frolicking around happily outside the Port.

At that point I killed the program via Task Manager and re-did the month.
Second try, cruiser engagement.
But the month after, exactly the same happened. Battleship engagement, BBs down at Shanghai, DDs up at Port Arthur.

Note:
I took Port Arthur just three months prior to this happening. Not sure how that could be relevant, but then again, bugs are caused by the strangest things, I'm told.

I've had weird coastal defence actions against the Soviet Union, with the Soviets defending player-controlled Finland, so there definitely seems to be some funkiness with Russia in particular.

Thanks for the report. If it happens again, a save will be helpful to track it down.
