What confused me is you said

"i tced again and 1 minute later i get stopped and get reports of taking damage. it started out as one warning, then turned into multiple system hits. i heard Scraping noises of metal on metal, and i look in external and theres NOTHING near me. im not anywhere near shallow water, and no ship was near me. i just took a massive beating from "phantom" damage, which has been happening ALOT lately."

I assure you no mysterious ghost attacked your sub. Here you say you used TC and implies a minute or so into the TC it automatically came back down because of damage reports. You may not see it, but it's obvious you were attacked why using TC by either a ship or plane.

My bet it was a ship. Believe me in this game using TC why dd's are near will get you killed. You say nothing was near, but obvious you were in battle with DD's and they were around somewhere. This was an attack that happened, as damage just doesn't happen. Just because nothing was near after you came out of TC, doesn't mean it wasn't. Just think a DD making a run at just 12 kts, times 8TC, that could equal 96mph, so he could easily long be gone. It's happened to me many times. Usually I think I've escaped the DD and start using TC. THe DD may have been 3000 yards away, and then whamo, massive damage. Take a look around and the DD may then be a mile away.

You said no need to go dive, I assume you mean go deeper because they weren't dc'ing you. How do you know one won't? Don't trust that. 90% of the time they will and at scope depth you're usually a goner. That's testing fate...

You said this was happening to you a lot. Many complain of this mysterious damage, it simply is not, it's an attack by a plane or ship...

Only BB's I see in the SS are Kongo's...

.just trying to help ya...meant no offense and fight on.
