What makes you feel Stupid

One stupid moment I had was using a small side channel in Scapa Flow. I thought I could safely raise the snort there and air the boat before I sneaked back out. It wasn't necessary as my air would have lasted, but I did it anyway

The channel turned out to be too shallow, the boat hit bottom. I got flooding, torpedo tube damage and my snort was destroyed. Make that destroyed in the up position, with no way of lowering it. There was no way I could sneak out with the damn thing protruding above the surface. So rather than the enemy getting me I doomed myself. Not my proudest moment
