Never Saw This

Currently on patrol in '43 in the Marshall Isls. Patrolled close to Maloelap. Radar picked up contact, which turned out to be a fat freighter at anchor in the bay. Closed on the surface at night at slow speed, when all of a sudden I hear a grinding noise like I ran aground. My speed dropped to 0, but no damage. Turned out the whole bay was protected by sub/torpedo net. Forget about the sitting duck now. First time I came across this. RFB and RSRD. Gotta love it!
