Do you think I could justify this by saying that I broadcast my status, and perhaps another u-boat came along and rescued us?

My first thought (and why I didn't respond) is that I think teleporting home -- especially from that far away -- is just as "wrong" as playing with unlimited fuel or torpedoes. Yeah, returning from Gib with 1 torpedo is a long, boring slog, but it has to be done.
But Tessa's response brings up some possibilities that would probably lead me to roll dice: a) what are the chances of fixing one engine? b) what are the chances of making it to a friendly port? c) etc. You sound pretty banged up, so I might roll and say 1 or 2 says I fix the engine, and on a 2nd roll, 1-2 says I can make it to a friendly port. That would give you an 11% chance of keeping the career.
Otherwise, it's Canadian POW camps for you, but you'll eat better in 1944 than anyone at home, so that's some consolation.
