Also using Advanced Holywood Damage.

I had a similar hair raising experience. Running at 40 meters, I took a direct hit by a DC, flooding heavily on stern torpedo room and engine of my IXB. It started listing backwards and I hit flank achieving only 4 kn, because one engine was destroyed; then started plunging down...

When I reached 145 meters I hit blow ballast once and just in time my second engine was back online. Flooding was not. Stabilized at 140 meters between a barrage of DCs...Juggling the crew between compartments was obligatory.

Finally I stopped flooding, ejected a bold countermeasure, and crept away...
