Something really weird happened tonight. I'm off Aberdeen, okay, about 100 miles east of it when all of a sudden damage control goes wacko. Bad flooding! Get to the battery room! We're all gonna die! Arrrgh!!!!! Mommy!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that maybe some destroyer put a shell into our side on the surface and my frackin' lookouts did not see it in the storm.

I reload the game and put us to periscope depth silent running. Same thing happens!

I'm barking orders through my voice interface big time. Emergency Surface! Damage control! Depth under keel!

We go to the bottom. KLANG! Boom! Bang! Diesel is completely under water, moderate flooding in other compartments but damage control shows they are working on it. I'm thinking "any chance of pumping out the diesel spaces?" when the game ends.

Could I have hit a freakin' mine? Depth under the keel is reported as 70 meters before the incident.

Anyone ever seen anything like this? Seamounts? Is spontaneous combustion modeled or something? Hydrogen buildup and someone lit up? WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
