Seems to be pretty normal for some reason - same thing happened to me when I apparently hit a mine off the east coast of England - managed to get all the damage repaired that could be repaired, and all my diesel-related parts were reading as if they should be working fine - my electrics and batteries were destroyed so I was looking forward to limping home on the surface and hoping to avoid airplanes or warship encounters on the way back, but no matter what I tried (including the tricks of reversing engines and cycling the engine telegraph forwards and backwards a few times) I could not get the darn boat to move and had to call for a tow (hit the esc key) to get home.
From what I've seen posted around here it seems several others have experienced the same thing after hitting mines.
