Probably the wisest thing to do,the odds I think were too high against you,and if not overly confident in the first place would only exacberate the problem.UBoat commanders tried desperately to change conditions in their own favour,but I reckon in some situations the best course of action would be to abort,and try elsewhere.Better than a complete waste of torpedoes in conditions that are not ideal for UBoats,unpredictability of the high waves to mention but one,and bad visibility.

Good luck elsewhere.
