In SH3, if you are not running at 100% realism, you can end patrol from anywhere in the world and you will magically return to base.
If you try to do this at 100% realism you will only be allowed to "abandon career".
As was pointed out, in real life you can steer the boat using the propellers. If one or both rudders were jammed hard over this might be harder but I'm betting you could still do it with one screw running in reverse at some speed while the other runs forward.
I think, once or twice, I have run into a "stranded" situation due to both diesel engines being destroyed. What I have done is surface the boat and crank up the TC. If I can go 3 days without contact with the enemy, then I assume that Germany was able to send someone to rescue us.
