Luckily the enemy left, try as I may I couldn't get surfaced due to flooding. It can take days or weeks to repair. . Slowly I crawled towards shallows until got shallow enuf to beach my sub surfaced. Day came and I crawled back to 80 ft or so to submerge from planes. Center Force comes back through, so I just let it go. After a week I was able to stay surfaced, but still low and only 10 kts flank and crawled home..

GREAT story. 
I'm finding all kinds of interesting situations myself. 
I just unloaded on one of those stripped sailboats with my AA guns. Took over 240 (3 clips) rounds to sink it, but down she went.
Gotta head back to port. I'm completely out of 'bullets'... in all departments.
Thanks all.
