Very likely a mine, which you probably detonated because high pitching in rough seas - you dove just deep enough.
Although I am not familiar with LSH as opposed to GWX gold with mods, but I suspect there were some minefields created by the modders as is in GWX.
As for the placement of the minefields, you have defensive minefileds around the E coast of Britain and near major convoy routes near to coastline (light blue color on map) where u-boats would most likely be lurking. Offensive minefields are laid near the enemy coast or most likely passage routes mad eby fast RN minelayers or destroyers and in by RAF. I guess you stumbled on one such type.I know there was a minefield laid north of the Netherlands, just as in real life.
P.S. I know this because I made a small 'mod' - a SH mission file where I tried to incorporate historical data on minefields with SH3 - I have to admit I once fell into a trap of my own making ( faliling memory;-)).
