Or do i have to restart this mission??

Yeah, same thing happened to me on one of my patrols. I was happily steaming home after a successful mission with a nice number of tonnage in my records. Suddenly I got surprised by a G4M Betty whilst surfaced. Manned the AA- guns and watched my crew turning the attacker into a ball of flames. The poor pilot, now mad, did a nice kamikaze right into to the stern of my sub, taking my rudder with him to the bottom of the ocean.

A good thing is that I was smart enough to save about 20- mins before this little accident.
