I did not actually hit a mine. As it turns out, I hit an iceberg instead.

:rotflr rather

I've said that too often myself, worst incident was something like this

Hmmm, hmm hm hmm hm (Me humming along to a tune while patrolling for ships in AN86 IIRC)
.

BOOM!
.
.
Clonk! (hitting the bottom at 25 meters)
.
gurgle (90% of my remaining diesel flushing out into the north sea)
.
.
an hour of fixing the boat later.
"Bernard, get up here! you're the new periscope, uzo, observation periscope, radio antenna and anything else sticking up above the main hull! And you better hope you can spit far because we don't have any guns anymore either!"

I eventually got back to newly occupied Rotterdam without my conning tower, batteries and only a smidgen of diesel left.

Patrol lasted all of 4 days, no sinkings and the Uboat was a write-off in june 1940.....
