Ever just lose a rudder?

This is a new one on me. Playing TMO/RSRD for 1.5, I was depthcharged following an unsuccessful attack on a convoy and suddenly noticed a curiously inability to travel in anything other than a straight line. I go to external camera and lo behold, USS S-40 is missing her rudder!

The odd thing is I received no damage reports and I didn't think the depthcharges were terribly close.

The Japs didn't have much of a problem tracking me after that, yet gave up after a few hours. To add insult to injury, when I surfaced I was hit with the CO2 bug...
