Most embarrassing moment.

Getting target fixated and ignoring the pinging - The angle of the searchlight beam ought to have been a clue [see photo] I'm assuming that embarrassingly stupid counts, for the purposes of this thread?

Forgetting to reload the torpedo tubes before going on a patrol and running into a small convoy with nothing to shoot at it.

Running aground more times than I can remember.

Plotting a course that happened to intersect with a small island, then running the boat aground at 2048x time compression. Boat wrecked, new campaign.

Slashing through a party of fishing boats close to shore and not realizing a shore battery had us dialed in. Very little gain vs the damage taken.

Forgetting to lower air search radar mast on clear, calm days while submerged and watching targets run like rabbits when they spot it...
