Best way to get up off the bottom?

Hi all

I was engaged in an epic battle with a destroyer, finally losing him but sinking to the bottom, about 120m down, due to severe flooding. By some miracle I managed to stop it with seconds left before the compartments were completely gone.

After repairs were completed I went to move back to periscope depth. As I was moving forward when I hit the bottom, I used Back Slow to start my ascent, assuming I was probably in the mud bow-first. BANG, I smashed my stern. Ahead Slow...BANG, smashed my forward tubes and sank (my hull integrity was less than 10% after the destroyer and ensuing fall to the bottom).

So...what's the best way to get out from the bottom once you've hit?
