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.
another possibility is mines.
i'm playing TMO_BH and he has mine fields all over the place.

i was on patrol in the ECS. two weeks. on the RTB i took a different route near Okinawa and blam!
WTF!
we were no where close to land so the damage could not have come from a land based weapon.
