Hi all,

Just wanting a little help (if its possible to get out of my predicament)

Just launched a surface attack on a massive convoy including some heavy tankers, during heavy fog (had a great time! DD's couldnt spot me most of the time). Eventually though the DD's caught up with me, well 1 in particular, and he attempted to ram me. Luckily I got the engines in full reverse and just grazed his side, then I followed up with a few deck gun shots and managed to get a killing blow. While all this was happening I failed to notice my speed deteriorating slowly, checking damage control I had .25 damage to one diesel and very little to the other (about 0.075). After having the repair crew on it they managed to fix it so its no longer in the damage control list, but I now have no propulsion from them at all. I can use electric engines but the problem is my hull is also damaged so I cant maintain a smooth running depth, and also I cannot recharge my batteries. I'm almost 2k Kilometres from freemantle (my closest port).

Can anyone please help me, I've checked and my crew are in their stations and rested, is there anything I can do to get going again/call for help?

Thanks

Lee
