Fired on and immobilised HMS Hood. Her escorts gave me a hard time so I took refuge underneath her. However the Hood then sank and took me down with her, at a speed of 46 knots at one point (straight down!) U boat destroyed by pressure.
It tops the time I once left the computer with my sub cruising along the Mediterranean nicely, cue a storm brewed and blew me course off.... ran aground on North Africa!
Again, there was the time when I entered a convoy on the surface when it was raining and ended up being rammed and sunk by HMS Nelson.
Does anyone have more spectacular ways on getting sunk?

Yikes! :o

It's bad enough when they drop depth charges on ya, but once they starting dropping ships... Well that just ain't fair! :O:

Yes, that happened to me once. I sunk a ship in a two ship convoy at periscope depth. When I started after the second ship, I ran into the sinking ship and that was the end of me.

Grrrrrr......

There is a media slot on my laptop right next to the volume control. If I accidently brush the media slot while adjusting the volume, I hear, "Yes sir... CRASH DIVE!"

I had just rung up all stop and was about to exit the patrol. I tried to save the ship with Back Emergency, but it was too late. Crunch. :nope:

Played chicken with the destroyers. You win some, you lose some.

I'm guessing that's a little tricky to explain to BdU. ;)
