'Unseen Attacker' is impossible!

Sorry to be starting so many new threads, but I had a free day today, so I've been playing a good amount of DW.

This thread is about a specific mission, Unseen Attacker, which is a Kilo scenario in which you have to transit undetected within 1 nm of an oil rig. At least, that's the first objective, but I haven't been able to get past it. The first problem I have is built into the mission. About an hour or two into gameplay, my sub suffered flooding in the engine room and damage to my propeller and both engines which limited my speed to about a third/half of whatever bell I had set.

I admit, I turned on truth after this event to see if I'd somehow run aground or collided with something, but everything seemed to be in order. I was at about 40 meters depth going 10 kts. Looking in the mission file, I found there is a trigger for this event, but I can't tell whether it's random or if I did something to cause it.

Anyway, that was a pain in the ass, but I thought I could still complete the objective, all-be-it at a much slower speed. This speed would also allow me to track all ships in my path very accurately. I was about 2 nm away from the Oil Rig when I heard "You have been counterdetected." Now, I knew the only enemy ship really close was a Hai Ou PCFG. There was an as yet unidentified suface ship using active sonar, but it was at least 9 nm away and my bow was almost directly pointed at him. Very early on, I had detected an S-2 and a little later a helo on ESM, so I thought it must have been one of them, but when I turned truth on again I saw neither of them withing 20 nm of me and no sonobouys. So how did I get couterdetected?

Anyway, I failed the mission and I still have no idea why. So, have any of you played this mission? Any thoughts/ideas?
