So which is the lesser of two evils? Sinking or surviving and getting court martialed? :P
I don't know... that is all too "nice" for my tastes. I'm not a master of history, but I'm willing to bet that even if you managed to abandon ship somehow, your chances of surviving in the middle of the ocean are probably not the highest.
But nope. You survive no matter what and get court martialed.
Oh wait. If you sink to 582881881 meters but had a really good career, they might just give you a new ship instead (I've had that happen).
Heck, either way, I think if I were the commander and someone managed to escape a sinking sub, somehow float to safety and not get captured by the enemy, I'd just award them a new sub because...well.. dang, tenacity is worth something. :P
