They wouldn't have spotted it, and usually hitting a mine will take you out - but occasionally the damage is not fatal IF you are able to react quickly enough to put men on damage control and begin flooding recovery and repairs. Your chances of doing that at a high TC are pretty much nil, even if the damage wasn't immediately fatal it will have become a lost cause by the time you can respond.
