wow... thats crazy.

For some reason, mines in SHIII scare me more than anything else... they are just so creepy.

Got to love the close calls with mines, In World War 1 more U-boats were lost to mines than any other cause.

Reminds me of a Churchill quote,

"There is no greater thrill than to be shot at, without result"

Always figure out the main direction of the convoy, and if you get in amongst the ships, always do a 360 degree check, before turning to attack with the bow or stern tubes as you may need to adjust your position before making the final turn to attack. This way you can avoid many unpleasant suprises.
