It was quite funny when the scene from red October, when the second in command onf the VK Carnivolev says to his captain "you arragont ass, you killed us." shot through my mind just before my boat jumped into the air in a geyser of blast.
It actually did not destroy my boat, but the patrol was over, and it did not make it back to base, it was just short of the shore running on batteries, at a very shallow depth, when we ran out of juice.
In reality, I probably would have gotten a tow.
