Nah, I "cheated" by using my external view to guide it in. The area around me was flat, no sudden rises or mountains in my way.
The boat wasn't moving up or down, either, it stayed right where I wanted, once the whole buoyancy issue was worked out. I even had my men laid out in a way so that neither fore nor aft was heavier to the point of tipping down.
The boat had no forward momentum, either.
What COULD have happened, and this is pure conjecture, is that I was hit by one of the DDs as it sank. I've seen it quite a few times where they a DC explodes too close to the ship and it ends up sinking. What I think could have happened is just that: one of the DDs was DCing me, one went off near the surface, causing the DD to sink. The sinking wreck could be what collided with me.
I'm not certain that happened, though. I was currently going over my maps, figuring out a course away, when I got the message. Had I been using the external view, I might have seen what got me.
