Surviving past 1942 is always a bit of a gamble. Get a schnorkel as soon as you can. Travel submerged @ 3 knots or so on batteries, and only schnorkel to recharge your batteries. Until then, keep a sharp lookout and dive immediately. And pray you don't get heard by a destroyer while snorting. And that you don't run into a mine. And that a B-24 won't get a radar reflection off of your schnorkel.

Even if you do everything "right", you still might not make to the end.
