Yep, you had a circle run, a fault in the mark 18 when its rudder jammed hard over to port or starboard.Both Mark 14 and Mark 18 had this issue in real life with multiple accounts of close calls where subs barely avoided them and two are know to have been sunk according to survivors(possible many of the subs listed as lost to unknown causes were lost to circle runs also.) This is simulated in SH4.
