I finally located a task force in the Battle for Midway after several tries. My boat is a Gato. I took it down to 550 feet eventually because the destroyers were locating the sub at shallower depths. Then I went to 580 feet. It was there a depth charge sunk my boat. Or was it? Maybe it passed crush depth.
I checked the external camera several times to see where the destroyers were. They were either right on my posiitoin are really close.

It is early in the war, June, 1942. I read the sonar and radar tutorials. How can the destroyers find my boat at over 500 feet? I thought I should be safe at over 350 feet? Oh. I run RSRDC over 2.0, if that helps.
