That is followed shortly by the fire effect if I switch to the outside view. Strangely, it's not there if I immediately go to the outside view.. I have to run a few seconds, maybe switch to map view or something, then if I go outside it's there. And while I can sail away from it (ie, it's fixed at a location on the water at the point where I first went to the outside view), if I switch to map and run a bit further, it comes back right next to me when I go outside again.
Weird. Something related to the act of initiating the external view must be triggering a "damage graphics" effect in the envirnonment around (but not on or in) my submarine.
