Thanks for the reply.
you do not mention what time compression you were using and that probably played a part.

so....night time, surface, sudden and immediate death.....
either a passing patrol boat or a night fighter or, if you were steaming within 4-5 miles of the coast, a coastal battery took you out. Those hazards PLUS time compression and you went from sipping a cup of coffee and catching up on the radio dispatches to shark-bait.

we've said this many times: at TC 512, every second of time means 8+minutes of game time. at TC 256, 1 min:4 mins.

a lot can happen in that time period.
