I was recently on a single mission near the Philippines and had sunk a BB and was then attacked and damaged by 2 DD's. I lost the main Pump and suffered bulkhead damage and was taking on water. I had gone deep to escape and they kept making runs across me. I was at 350 and gaining depth too quickly for comfort!!

I was at 550' last I looked, and had hit emergency blow with the engines at 1/2 speed. I was hoping I could level off and try to sink the BB that was stationary not far away. But I lost steerage and could do nothing to stop going deeper.

Any ideas?? Are there anything than can be done to stop continuing to dive? Yes, I know it's a dumb question but I was hopl;
