Pause....Zoom.
"Oh."

Pre-GWX:
Bernard leaned against the torpedo launch control("ENTER" key) by mistake while cruising thru the North Sea and launched an eel against the fishies.
Thankfully, GWX put a guard over the switch ("CTRL+ENTER") to prevent a reoccurence.

My latest:
Had some damage and minor flooding. I got clear and surfaced. Stopped the boat and put her with decks awash to load some external torpedoes (just a little something I do for realism sake) and hit the TC to speed up the process a little. The flooding was enough to pull me down off the surface. Next thing I know, I'm in the control room with the depth gauge winding around the dial.
I can't remember where it was when I got it under control and was able to blow tanks and get back up to the surface.
