I hit a convoy off Gibralter in late '40. After sinking 3-4 mercs, I was pounded by escorts. Just about every compartment was damaged, had pretty bad flooding. I layed on the bottom and repaired the boat, then slowly creeped away at 2 knots using silent running. I really did not expect to survive that one.
