I'm getting too old - or is it always the last dive + a new idea.

How about a helmsman, a current, or wind, setting the ship to one side of their straight course? Or enough cable to let the mine ride back.

But it must have been a torpedo because in another totally irrelevant case the record showed it was a torpedo not a mine.

The best part was the inward bent plates (with undamaged frames) that hadn't rusted away like the rest of the hull.

But then the girls were warm!
