This was a crutial moment. Due to the hull damage, I considered dropping the chase. But I was tonnage hungry so I continued. I planed to attack from the distance, to give myself more time to escape.

2 statements jumped out at me in your narrative, highlighted in red and in bold.
2 reasons we all get sunk sometimes I bet:
1. Overconfidence.
2. Greed.
One of the worst depth chargings I received was from overconfidence due to underestimating my enemy. I was lucky on that one and survived only to die later on.
