Then you must be one lucky SOB.
Battle Stations and Crash Dive is the standard operating procedure on my boat.
The other day I was using my deck gun to finish off a large merchant when a Betty suprised me and ripped a gaping hole in my side. Managed to get him but my patrol was over as I had to limp back to port (with 12 Fish left unfired). I was dreading another air contact because I felt sure if I dived I would have sunk like a stone.
