This was the deep water passage between Borneo and Tawi-Tawi.
Any ideas?
Using FotRSU mod.

First thought is shore batteries, just outside your visual range.
Second thought is hit a small plot of land, but did not run aground, glanced it, have had that happen off China coast before, plenty of those little islands in SW pacific as well.
Third, is submerged AI enemy submarine torpedoed you? They are present in FOTRS and now TMO as well. I've yet be torpedoed in either mod, but had some close calls, by a enemy submarine but I recall in SH 4 torpedoes hitting your sub do not cause the damage to player sub would expect i.e. does not outright sink your sub as it should.
Possible running at TC your sensors did not detect the sub before it fired and thus seems like it came from nowhere.
