What day was it (approx), time of day if you have it, location as close as you can get it, and where were you sailing from, and what was your assignment? Any (and more) info you can supply will help us narrow down any possibilities... If nothing else, there will be a court-martial to determine the level of dereliction of duty, and the method of punishment to death, for having allowed your boat to hit a mine... - least, that's ~our~ story

that's pretty funny....the last part i mean.
so, i applied LAA and re-started a patrol from surabaya to zone A4 on Jan 22, 1942. made some kills along the way to A4, patroled for several days before i encountered a freighter...sank same. radioed back to base and they said RTB. so i did. along the way i sank a couple more marus. i got to a point SE of surabaya early on Jan 29 and received the prompt to end patrol, which i selected. bang. CTD. my course approx 310 speed 12 on the surface. cannot remember if there was a surface contact....maybe one but long range. things happen suddenly and it is difficult to keep constant awareness of ALL game conditions.
let me know if you think of something.
thanks.
