2 hours with minor damage-sounds like you should have plenty of air and battery power to stay under another 10 hours or so and try to creep away. Pretty risky trying to duel the escort when other options are still available. Creeping away, silent and deep is your best option with the occasional dash at flank speed during a DC run.
Now, on the other hand, if you're flooding and slowly sinking and find that you have to carry some speed to maintain depth, or your battery and/or air is low, there comes a point where you should blow the tanks and take the fight to the enemy.
