I think some tiny island while on tc. That always makes me feel stupid.

Way back when had stock game v 1.4. I had just read Richard O Kane's "WAHOO" for the first time and decided to try the "down the throat shot" on a charging DD after sinking a tanker with four stern torpedoes.Turned my bow into the DD, fired at 600 yards, , one missed, one hit right in the bow, DD exploded.Instead of hitting the dive button to get under the DD after firing, I hit the surface button by mistake and popped to about 35 feet before dive officer caught boat and stopped the ascent.One of two torpedoes fired hit the DD right in the down, blowing it off and causing a massive explosion, the DD was finished.However, the burning hulk (slowed but still moving at 25-30 knots ) plowed right into conning tower and side of hull where control room is, since when realized the error, was too late to dive under in such short time. Gato class sub(forgot which one) went under, hull damage went to 100, game over.

Coming out of Pearl in my shiny new command, the USS Pike, on my first ever war cruise. Set course out of the harbor, ordered ahead 2/3rds and went to get a cup of coffee. To my horror, the crew had driven us straight into the hulk of a BB (I believe it was the Oklahoma, though I could be wrong).

Hedge-hogged in shallow water. The explosive concussion off the bottom lifted my U-boat to the surface where two destroyers filled me full of holes.

I was on the surface in an S-class boat, chasing after a merchant and finishing it off with a few more shells. As I pulled around to the starboard side, it opened up on us with one of those small light flak guns, and immediately did damage.

We dived quickly, but suffered so much damage, we could not get off the bottom.

oh actually, now I remember another running aground. The navigator missed the command of 'follow plotted course' and ran aground heading out of the harbor at midway at full speed.

Ah, thought of another one. Not really 'ridiculous', necessarily, but it was extremely annoying at the time. After the Pearl Harbor fiasco, I decided to run my next cruise out of Manila, no sunken hulks for my idiotic crew to drive into. Got my shiny new S-class (okay, not shiny, or new...it was a rusted hulk) and started out of the harbor. As I was clearing land-mass and about to turn north to my assigned area, my WO calls out that he's sighted an aircraft. Cool, probably allied this close to Manila, let's take a look and see what it is.

Went up on deck to wait for a visual..looking around- Oh, look at that, a Catalina! Cool.... wait, Catalina's don't have 4 engines...oh hell. Bombs, dead, sunk.
