Circular Run?!?! Ouch!

Just had the same a few days ago with a Mk 14. I torpedoed a heavy Japanese cruiser with 4 fishes. One hit but 3 ran deep and didn't explode. I chased the damaged cruiser for hours and finally got in position for a good shot. After firing another spread of 4 torps I scored 3 hits which made the cruiser blow up. I thought the 4th torpedo missed and right when I surfaced...BANG!!!!
My poor Porpoise hardly made it back afloat and was damaged beyond repair. In reality a direct Mk 14 hit to the front torpedo room would have surely blown my entire boat to pieces. I only had a big hole in my hull and some minor injuries (I don't think any crewmen of the hit compartment would have survived a real torpedo impact and here I was with some slightly wounded people...). I crawled back to my base where I received a new sub (together with a considerable loss of renown

).

I'm missing my old sub....
