'scuttled at a neutral shore' when 20k yards from own harbour!

Sorry Matrix, but the AI needs to do better than this...

I mentioned this before, too. Generally, if you are in a sea area where you have a port, this should be a very unlikely event, and especially if it is your build area. This is something that happens to raiding ships in distant lands like the Graf Spee in the South Atlantic in 1940.

I had one better - recent battle against a French raider trying to slip the blockade, it had gotten back into a French port before the end of the battle, but still came up with the "forced to scuttle on a neutral shore" event.

I ain't complaining about the free cruiser kill, but it does seem rather odd

What you can probably do is a little save file editing to recreate the lost ship. But actually the game shouldn't be doing this.
