TK Vivi sinks....

1 hex off Esperance in convoy with 4 other tankers and 1 DD.
It had no damage, no enemy action and overcast conditions.

WTF

Anything like this happened to anyone else?

There is chance for catastrophic event every turn. If tanker was loaded, it could immediately sink, because fuel exploded.

Or it could be unreported torpedo hit, with fuel explosion.

Maybe it was one of those storms like in The Final Countdown.

they may have broke deep and took water.

Cheif Mate stuck cigar smoking face into open ullage hatch.
Curious Ordinary Seaman peeked into ullage hatch, dropping steel chipping hammer into same.
Dumb egineers transfered too much fuel oil to port (or starboard) wing tank. Ooops! Ship tips over.
Dumb engineers burning or welding on (common) engineroom/pumproom bulkhead.
Dumb engineers, while buiding a putting green (on Captains orders) on #3 stbd wing tank top (ie:the deck), burned a hole there too!
Sewage plant malfunction due to excess accumlation of crew methane.
Captain is a IJN fanboy. Look for a RED TF in same area.
