Mysterious damage?

You may have hit a subnet or mine (Probably a mine). Both were present in the German owned harbors for protection. If you go to your nav map, in the top left corner of the map are a bunch of pull down sheets. One is labled "Oberkommando Der Kreiglmarine Minen- und Abwehrnetzakarte." in the lower left hand corner of the sheet.

This page has on it the maps of all the German ports and shows the locations of the mines and subnets at the mouths of the harbors.

if the damage was not severe with compartments showing red then it was probably a subnet intended to keep British subs from port raiding.

Just as the allies net and mine their harbors so do the Germans.

As a rule of thumb just follow your escort out to sea and he will lead you through the protected zone.

They mine those entrances, wise to swing well eastward of that little island in front of Lorient. There is a pull down chart showing the areas around the bases mined and netted. You might be wise to take the command away from Bernard if you managed to hit the same 1 twice

Having looked at the map for Lorient, you hit a subnet. You have to go South close to the island before turning West to miss it.

I am inclined to agree, but fortunately I have the benefit of someone of your stature to point me in the right direction.
