Closing....suddently Out of nowhere an Flower comes up! DAMN! He took me with suprise and the following thing happens

It's called a Hedgehog, or spigot mortar.

I've never taken that much damage (well, I've taken more, but I didn't survive). You'll probably get some replies from folk who've returned with as little as 4% left. Maybe less, but that's the worst I remember hearing about.

Ah now thats why i generaly prefer the type VII's, your chances of survival are often much better when things go realy wrong.

I don't have any pictures of it, but on a long patrol off the coast of Canada, I was hit by a destroyer and a Sutherland. Hull integrity dropped. I had to surface; got into a gun battle with the destroyer, sank it. By the end, my hull integrity was down to 2% and I managed to sail it all the way across the Atlantic back to home port and finish the patrol.

I have never recovered from that kind of damage. Ouch!

This one was fatal (mine outside Scapas western entrypoint or in the channel):

Let me guess, you hit a mine

Something I just thought about: If you are in this situation with two dead crewmen in the radio room and hydrophone room, what do you see if you visit that area of the ship? :hmm: Two dead bodies? Empty chairs?
