Did you have one of your periscopes raised to the top? The keel on most of the US boats ran about 15 feet deep when surfaced. I'm not sure what the height of the top of the retracted periscope was above the keel, but just an estimation from the game I'd have to guess about 30-50 feet. If it was extended, it might have been clipped by a deep draft ship, especially if the seas were rough.
