Once I got heavily DC'ed by a DD. I was sinking rapidly with many demages. Had to blow emergency surface - no reaction. "that was it", I thought. On my steep dive to eternity I pressed emergency blowout a second and third time -just to see that finally the third emergency blowout stopped the boat from sinking - at 190m. While surfacing I thought "OK, that was close, but now they'll finally finish me". Yet against all odds I managed to escape on surface thanks to the most lousy weather with only one engine and heavy flooding.
I felt like re-born. 
Cheers,
