Facepalm, or there's a little Bernard in all of us

[She-Wolf]

Hee, just call me Mrs Bernard, I was coming back down from the North, between Ireland and Britain and nothing much was happening, so I zoomed out so that I had a good picture of the map and could plot a course to get me a good bit further down south at maximum time compression. Sailing along, wheeee, hair blowing in the breeze, when suddenly, without any warnings, we're all dead, kaput, finito! EH? sez I to me and zoomed in to see what might have happened. I had run the sub into the Isle of Douglas, which is not visible when you zoom right out... dork!

Had the exact same thing happen to me. (Twice, even) Passing north of Scapa Flow the north and plotting a straight course to the Rockall Banks. I don't know if its the same one as yours, but also on this course there's a tiny little island that only shows up when you zoom in. I survived both times though, but heavily damaged.
