In such cases: I am not amused!
then better be carefull, yesterday i was heading towads 270 near the southern 1/4 of AN52, i dove to periscope depth and 4 hours later to 30 metres for a full sonar scan, after 2 hours of cruising at that depth i was about to return to periscope depth and suddenly my chief engineer shouts "the ship is being dammaged" lost both scopes, radio antenna, radio, sonnar (both internal equipment and the outer spin thingy) my fuel (i had the fuel bunker almost full) leaked and left me with only 10% both bateries destroyed... there was ONE mine.... ONE.... and it got me.
