dont give up the ship! is there nothing you can do?
you have exhausted every option?
do you have flooding? or are you partially flooded?
are you rigged for silent running?
if i were you, when the enemy leaves the area i would secure from silent running and repair the boat. push the S key and see if the boat will slowly rise to the surface.
If it does... set course for home at the best possible speed.
