I can't say definitively (no references where I'm currently located) but I do belive the odd boat may have floundered/succumbed to extremely inclement weather.

The usual practice was to dive and wait out the storm, the practice was also useful because it rested the majority of the crew and gave them the chance to have an uninterrupted meal.
