You got that right a torpedo or mine exploding against a submarine should 100% be fatal and should really basicly blow the sub in half if it hit around amidships.

Sounds like the mines should be better they should explode as soon as they contact the hull. Never hit one though they are much more common in TMO so Im sure when in shallower waters I have been near them.

I'm sure you're aware that O'Kane thought Wahoo was hit by a circle runner and was sunk trying to make it back. I find that hard to believe, but man wouldn't that be an interesting story to know the final days of the Wahoo. I think it's clear Mort was damaged, just doubt it was a torp.
