a little glitch and a mystery

hello folks - hope you had a nice Christmas day.

I was out on the briny tonight, in Rotbile (Rusty Ol Tub But I Luv Er), skulking around on the way to Rosyth, and I bagged a medium merchant. I took to the outside camera to watch her go down, and that was that.

Eventually a tug and a speedboat came along to see if they could sniff me out, and after about an hour of circling around, the tug released some depth charges. No threat to me as I was a fair way off. A little later, I was watching from the camera again, and there was another depth charge explosion, though I didn't actually see it go into the water, and then, immediatly after that, there was a cascade of objects ejected upwards from the back of the tug which seemed to explode in the air .
I asked himself what this was all about (he didn't hear anything as I have headphones on) and he said, without having seen anything, that they were 'hedgehogs' and that they would explode in the water. Well, nothing else happened, no bangs, but then the tug stopped making way and just sat there in the water. Seems to me she somehow blew her own tail off in an accident. Could that be so?

I wanted to take a closer look with the camera view to see if I could detect any damage on the tug, but each time I tried going closer via the camera, which had been fine when I watched the merchant sink, the game CTD'd.

It has never happened before. is this something to do with GWX2.00 I wonder? The only mods I have running are the orange circle and Das Boot.
