Murphy's Law

At the end of a long campaign (1941), I was heading back to Brest with all trops used, but still had most of my deck gum ammo left, so I headed into the channel above Brest. While on the surface I got buzzed a half-dozen times by a single fighter, but it didn't drop any DCs. This had happened before without the plane attacking so I figured he was out of DCs. I waited to see if any of his buddies showed up and when none did I left to do some dishes, brazenly leaving the sub on the surface.

Not a minute later I heard CRASH! and ran over to find just about every section of the sub damaged -- it was nearly all yellow! I dove to avoid any more attacks, but the damage was too severe and the sub sank. I actually felt sad that I'd lost my trusty VIIB and crew!

Could one direct hit by a DC cause that much damage?
