Good news. After the carrier and cruiser went down the destroyers all made one pass on me. I waited until I heard their screws almost directly overhead then kicked it to flank and made a 90 degree turn. I took damage and thought I was done for. I rose to about 100 feet in case my hull damage was bad enough for the pressure to get me. After six passes, three of the destroyers left to catch up to the remaining fleet of tankers and marus (this was a strange convoy).
The other three either ran out of charges, thought I was dead, lost contact with me or left to catch up after a few more passes.
I was able to escape and make it back to port with my second career carrier kill.
A really fun patrol
Thanks for the help!
