Hull integrity was at 39%. Surfaced and started chasing down merchants with my deck gun and remaining fish. Sank 4 C2's, a C3, plus the two escorts and was just finishing off a 5th C2 when it exploded and flaming debris landed all around and very quickly I got damage reports and then the hull caved and that was that. Killed by falling debris from an exploding ship. Simply unbelievable.

Not so unbelievable. The real-life U-132 (KL Vogelsang) was sunk by debris raining down from the explosion of an ammunition ship, which had been torpedoed by another U-boat...
