If you have a destroyer and do nothing during the turn when you click to end your turn
your destoyer automatically use the sonar.
I put to sleep him profoundly, it changes nothing :

On the picture, you can see the message
Unmoved Units. The problem is if you click
Cancel it's too late. Your Destroyer used its sonar without my permission
From this moment you can make nothing more with your destroyer: neither attack nor move

It is not a bug, but a feature. Not a feature I like and I would prefer if there was an option to turn it off.

This is a feature for the AI, not a feature for the Human Player. The AI never forgets to play a unit at the end of his turn, the Human Player often forgets to play certain units at the end of his tun.

True, but it is there on purpose and is WAI.
"Destroyers automatically use the sonar pulse ability when you (try to) end your turn. If you want to make sure you moved all units, use the Next/Prev unit buttons or PgUp/PgDn."

Thank you for the advice which I shall follow every time there are Destroyers
