I had this bug happen to me as well, except I tangled with a 3 DD not a shore battery...
I sank like a rock to the bottom (thank god not too far down), and there I sat waiting for the DD's above me to find me...
Couldn't rise at all and sneak away...
Luckily they left after an hour or so, so then tried to rise... - No luck...
Then I remembered reading this thread so proceeded to tap the blow ballast key repeatadly, and it worked, I began to rise...
Once on the surface I set course for the nearest friendly base I could refit at...
All damage was fixed on the way, Once I had to dive, and again I sank like a rock (luckily I wasn't in deep water, so hit the bottom with a thud causing my damage crew to get of their butts again and fix some things...
As I had recharged my Air etc while being on the surface I was again able to tab the blow ballast key again until I started to rise.. (mind you, I sat on the bottom until dark)
This ended up happening several more times , so I just made sure I piloted my ship in the shallows until I managed to get back to a refit base.
I wouldn't mind it happening IF it showed up in my damage screen or something, but to be told there is NOTHING wrong with my sub while I am sinking like a rock to the bottom is just plain crazy...
