I flip to exterior view to see what had damaged me. A plane ? no. A mine ? no. when ziiiip sploosh a shell nearly takes my head off.

"What tha ! whered that come from !" so I stayed outside surfaced to try to figure it out.... ziiipppp sploosh... It came from over there !

I grab the binocs and "flash" there it is ! Shore batteries ! ziiiip BOOOM ugh more damage.

They were nailing me from nearly a mile out ! I tried to steer the outside camera over to get a good look but there are some collision issues with land and the camera.

Long story short we submerged, got things repaired, and continued on.

Next time your taking mysterious un explained damage... look shoreward.
Had this happen entering a harbour. Caught me off guard at first.
