Ordering "Crash Dive" in 20 meters of water...

Got 2 more tails here,just happened a few hours ago.
First-I was attacking Hartlepool in early 39' after a fruitless patrol in GW.
As you proably know ,like in NYGM ,there's a lonely Large Cargo ship there ,sitting a few meters outside port,pefectly sitting there for a broad-side

So,i went in un-detected,silent-running at about 2 knots,periscope depth.I got within about 4k meters and started making measurments in the TDC.Got ship type(Gee I wonder if that's a little tanker or tramp steamer -hmm...) ,range ,speed(that was also hard he was going so fast I barely got lock on him

)bla bla bla.Set torp to impact,3 meters straight for the front cargo hold since she carried ammo and blowing that up would result in a nice coulourfull and noisy explosion.So,torp fired,bang direct hit-but no big boom.After the boom,all the lights in the harbour lit up onto my surrouding area(note that it was night).Ok,so,I had 2 electric torps in the 4th and 3rd tube,so i fired them both at the same time ,a little degrees off one from the other.Then i went to the exterior view and followed the torps on their way.One bounced off the hull and the other one blew up the rear-cargo hold,and the ship started sinking.So,i just sat there waiting for it to sink.Made TC 32x and just waited .The ship was slowly sinking,and suddenly "SIR WE HAVE CRICIAL FLOODING!" "WE'RE TAKING DAMAGE!" MEDIIIIIIC!".I pressed f12 to see the exact position of my ship-I thought we were being DC'd or something...anyway-so i pressed f12 and to my surprise the camera was moved above the sinking cargo.I pressed it about 5 more times because I thought it was a bug or something,then i looked under the ship and surprise-I had forgotten to go to full stop and my coning-tower had a close-up meeting with the ship...

I managed to get out with 56 percent hull and about 10 dead crew-men...
And the second "tail" -happened on a rather old patrol -I was crusing twards my assigned patrol sector -AM23 .When somewhere in the middle of the AN area (between England and Norway) ,while changing my crew's positions a bit-suddenly-BANG CRASH CRASH SCREETCH CRACK I was so scared-thought that an english DD had fired on us .Out of reflex-I pressed crash-dive,and remember d to late that depth under keel was about 30 meters...Turns out I had collided with a neutral merchant my crew had neglected to report.
