Now what? (for the sake of realism)

Looking for a somewhat realistic solution to my predicament:
Both diesels destroyed, attacked a convoy one too many times I guess. Survived barely, managed to evade. Got to about 250m west of Lisbon on remaining batteries at 1 knot. For some reason, maybe current, I can do about 1/2 knot submerged still.
What would happen in a situation like this? My compressor still works, could it be rigged to provide some minimal battery charge? Could two non-working engines be salvaged to get one at least partially working engine?
My solution right now is max TC into Lisbon and just fudge time in port for whatever minimal repairs using Commander, then try to finish my patrol and limit myself to 1/3rd speed or something.
Any ideas?
