Depth Charge damage

I have been playing TMO.

Second mission. After completing 2 goals, photo recon, and 48 patrol off Convoy College, I was given complete automony to patrol as I pleased. I started up the Notheast coast. About half-way between Formosa and Japan, I ran into a convoy of four freighters and on Destroyer. Making work of them, I radioed a status report in. I get orders to go back to Convoy College and patrol another 48 hours there.

OK, no problem. Half way to the area, radar picks up 2 contacts, its daylight, so I decide to submerge and cruise until 2100 or later. (Its only 1300 then).

I'm doing 1 knt at about 180 feet.

Suddenly, I hear "we're taking damage!" "Hull damaged!" "Diesel Engines damaged!" "Electric engines damaged!" "Sonar Damaged!" "Pumps Damaged!" etc.

Before I know it, my eulogy is being performed.

What the heck happened?

I was deep enough to avoid DC's.

I dove long before the aircraft got there.

What happened?

Several times I have dove to avoid aircraft, only to surface later to damage.

What happened?
