A bloody mines! I hit one in the same area too once.
You should get a radio message warning about mines layed around this island.

I'll send a message to Churchill requesting that the British exercise a little more consideration for their enemies

Ok - I'm going to give her wide clearance. It's funny because often I drive through places where I know there are probably mines, but am usually ok because when you're surfaced, you rarely hit them. For instance, _occasionally_ I"ll do a channel run, and I know there are mines there, but I make sure I run surfaced, and unless the seas are really choppy, it's unlikely to dip down and catch a mine. RUnning at PD on the other hand, is extremely dangerous. The problem with the area east of Helgoland is that it is so shallow (11m) that the mines are right near the surface. Anyway, I managed to stave off the flooding and since it was my second patrol, the men I lost were noobs and were highly replaceable. All in all, not a bad place to hit a mine.
