I had the same problem 2 days ago, only mine was not a happy ending, it was a career killer.

GWX 2.1, In my Type IIA in the north sea I attacked an English convoy in 1939. It had 4 escorts, maybe 5. It was only 70 meters of water though, I couldn't get away after sinking 2 large merchants.

I spent hours of real life time at the computer using every trick I knew to get away, 4 were hunting me for a while, then 2, then one persistant destroyer stayed on me, even though he was out of DCs, he stayed with me pinging and pinging. After hours of trying to get away i tried to go to PD to try to find a blind spot in the ASDIC, in which, I was rammed and the career lost.
