Ah, a mistake, it wasn't Formosa, it was where Karimata Strait hits Jawa Sea (close to Singapore). It was in the shallows, that's all I know (there doesn't appear to be any islands/sandbanks where I plotted the path--looking at it in my new career), but I suppose there could be a really shallow area somewhere there to beach oneself (the outside death screen wasn't of a beached ship though, just one in the open waters). Shame I didn't see what got me, especially if it was a mine.
Another reason to avoid the shallows now. Apart from using an S-18 [where escape happened for me], I was always DC to death by escorts in shallow waters.
