Carrier Interdiction - bug with transports inside carrier fleets

[ncc1701e]

There is a problem. This is like transports is protecting carrier fleet from carrier interdiction. The manual is saying that a fleet containing transport ships may not attack other fleets but does defend against attacks.

The situation, this carrier fleet contains one transport ship.

Any enemy carrier fleet is approaching but interdiction is failing.

The enemy US fleet is composed of 2 CV, 3 BB and 3 CA. Please note it is in Fleet mode. So it is ready to intercept anything.

I am moving the Japanese carrier fleet with transports to be intercepted. And the Carrier Interdiction result is always 0-0. There is no damage, the combat log is completely empty.

I have a saved game. This is systematic.

Another thing, Carrier fleet with transports inside can't attack. But, I can move the transport elsewhere.

And then I can again move my Japanese carrier fleet.

A Carrier Pursuit is triggered by my fleet whereas the manual states normally it should not be possible. This is like the Carrier Interdiction has been completely ignored. The "enemy fails interdiction" message is also surrealist.

And now, what is interesting. Same situation with the US carrier stack in Fleet mode. I am doing the same naval move with surface and transport ships only leaving the carriers where they are. Here the Carrier Interdiction is working.

Now moving the carrier and surface ships without the transport ship. Again the Carrier Interdiction is working fine.

This is really the combination of carriers plus transport ships, moving together, that has a problem.

If I am reading this right.... no a fleet with transports does not intercept.

No, a carrier fleet with transports can't be intercept. That's the issue. The result is always 0-0.

See above post:

The Japanese task force (carrier + transport) is moving.
The US task force (carrier) is doing a Carrier Interdiction.
The result is always 0-0. The combat log is empty with the false information that Axis Attacking. This is the Allies.

And also see this thread, a carrier plus transport ships in the same naval task force is intercepting. Wrongly but it is:
