U-53 Dead in the water

No diesel, all tanks destroyed. No battery power, forward batteries destroyed and aft batteries empty. Pos AN2629. 0040, Sept 27, -39. Requesting help, a towline or a ride home.

Now, in game you cannot do anything but wait for the enemy to find you. Or, dive the boat until it succumbs to pressure. And then use the Cmdr to surrender..

But in real life, what would their options be? Towing the boat from that pos. seems a bit risky:hmm: Taking a crew of 44 aboard an already cramped Uboat, no, that would take several Uboats to save the crew, right? Any ideas Kaleuns?
