I didn't think it was a mine because I was well out to sea at the time. She was supportive and understanding of the save issue, except for the howling with laughter part when I died before saving.
On her urging, instead of DID I reloaded again and went back in. Guess what? Mr. fire-breather had disappeared! So I snuck in close until I was almost scraping bottom and launched a bunch of fish at the ship tied up to the pier. I really have to learn manual targeting, because the automatic version does not work too well. A bows-on stationary target at 3100 yards, me creeping forward at 1 knot, and all 6 go wide left or right. Blew some pretty holes in the docks all around him. I was afraid to surface because of shore batteries, so I ignomiously snuck back out, spitefully deck-gunning a fishing sampan on the way.
Do shore batteries shoot at you? I'm going back again tonight.
