I managed to emergency surface only to find the two planes I had detected had arrived within visual range. But they did so AFTER the collision. I shot at them, thinking they would now attack but they ignored me. I guarantee there was not enough time between detection and damage for it to be these guys that caused the damage.

So I saved the replay as suggested to check for mines. There was no mine either?!?!?!
I still have no idea what caused the damage. Has anyone got any ideas now? Did I strike an invisible object of some kind?

If you know how, use the Mission Editor and open the Data \ Campaigns \ Campaign \ Jap_Minefields.mis file, and notice the anti-sub nets and minefields on both ends of the Formosa Straits. Do not click on any "OK" buttons or "Accept" buttons. Always "Cancel" out so that you don't accidentally have the Mission Editor bring "stock" info back into the file - but you can right-click on an item, or choose it in the Explorer tab, and select "Properties", and you should be able to see the dates things become "active"... I don't know if the mines and sub nets render in a replay, but I'm thinking that they do...
