I was off the eastern coast of England in my good ol' IID, a coastal merchant was running directly into my ambush. "Just a little further and I will have a good shot at it", I thought. "open tube 1!, prepare to fire" when suddenly it exploded and sank.
"That's odd" I though, i've never seen a coastie sink in 10m/s winds and I didn't expect the weather to sink it so violently. Disappointed, I continued NW up the coast. A few minutes later I get "We're taking damage! We have flooding! We're out of diesel fuel!", followed shortly after by hitting the bottom and complete flooding
So am I right to assume that I found some mines, or did I just hit a dolphin

or something?
