Another possibility, is a submerged AI submarine torpedoed you. I was recently hit by one for the first time. Night time on surface, no warning. Since you were submerged , I find it more likely to be a mine but if you were shallow enough, which I presume you were since about to surface, AI sub could have detected you.

When I get home after work I will play a little, so I can provide the information more precise. By memory, I was coming north from Sendai, was near that cape before Tokyo area. December 1943. 21h, I think.

I was at 150ft, begging to go to periscope depth. I think it was more a mine than enemy torpedo.
