Bug? Or just very poor damage control?

In my recent game I had a BC which sustained approx. 12 points of damge in combat. I breathed a sigh of relief that it was not destroyed. However, on my next Strategic phase it was missing in action. I recalled reading somewhere about ships taking additional damage between turns so I figured this is what happened and it just didn't make it back to port. Then recently I had 2 DNs damaged in combat, one for 9 points and the other for 6 points. At the start of my next Strategic Phase the ships were shown as having 18 and 12 points of damage respectively. Is this common that ships damage will be doubled between Strategic Phases or is it a bug?

No way to tell without seeing a saved game just prior to the battle. Did your ships have any prior damage or were they involved in more than one battle that turn?

Frank, I have E-Mailed you the turns in question and await your reply.
