Proceeded into shallow water at periscope depth south of the contact. Hit what seemed like a brick wall at the shallowest depth. Sustained a lot of damage very quickly. Maybe a sub net running parallel with the shallow water line?

Looked at sub with the unit view and it seemed like the sub was entangled within a wall of net, mesh or something and there were round floats along the top like they were holding up a sub net?


Are there sub nets and other items in FotRS UE protecting all of the Marshall Island atolls? As well as other islands and atolls?
Short answer, yes, and you hit one.
