I don't have a screen but the most horrific patrol i had not so long ago left me with about 19 crewmen in a VIIB and hull was really low .However i didn't really manage to escape,but still
It was 1940 i think and I was returning from a not-so-juicy patrol with no ships sunk (except an english coastal vessel,but that doesn't really count

) and i was on the eastern coast of England returning to base.I didn't have anything better to do so i went twards hartlepool I Think or another port in that area.I sneaked in and found nothing .As i changed course (while being submerged) 2 v&w's and a C class came from no-where.I stayed submerged (but at low depth since i was relative close to the town).I was going silent with about 2 knts and was hoping they didn't detect me(I use NYGM so going silent isn't like a "cloaking" device anymore).Suddenly,I hit a ********g mine which caused some heavy flooding and hull damage .The pattern was sorta similar -coning tower/KDB /Radioroom blown to bits about 6 crew dead+about 3 rooms flooding really fast.Also,one of,one of the bateries got blown up so i had no electric power left.I had nothing to do than surface and try to make a run for it.So i surfaced and ,well,they saw me and started chasing.I put some men on the deck-gun and i managed to destroy the C-Class' guns and it backed away.But as soon as i did that my deck-gun got destryed and the watch-officer + the 3 men on the gun were killed.Then,one of the other ship's rammed into me ,while the other one was shooting it's cannons at me ,but it's aim sucked so he managed to destroy the guy ramming me.Then i only had one double-flack gun to destroy the v&w,and strangely enough i managed to destroy it's guns so it backed off.By now my subs was more limping in the water at about 5 kn rather than actually moving .After a few more km's i met a tribal ,and that guy finished me off
