The U-boat missions expansion introduced heroic abilities for certain crew members. One such ability is the ability to repair destroyed equipment at sea.
It's an active ability, so it can only be used every so often, but if you have a crew member with that ability, you might be able to get out of this mess. I'd stick the repair wizard in the engine compartment, stock the damage control team fully, go to battle stations while submerged and activate the ability. When the ability wears off (I think it lasts about 5 minutes), come down from battle stations, deactivate the DC team, and use time compression until the ability resets. Repeat the process until your destroyed equipment is functional.
Now, I've never actually used the ability, so I don't know if it will allow you to fully repair the destroyed equipment, or if it just allows you to bring it back to functional but extremely poor condition. I'd still head home once it was done.
Of course, if you don't have someone with this ability, "Game over, man, game over!" Either reload an earlier save or start a new career, because this one is done. You can stick a fork in it.
