Sorry, but you can't make it back... The game does not simulate that.

Reload to an earlier point, or consider yourself lost at sea..

Yer done my friend. As AVSM said,either reload an earlier save,or start a new career.

When you have about 50% of fuel left start heading to another friendly port or base. Steam at about 10 knots for best efficiency.

ahead standard is best fuel ecomomy and is about 9 kts

also if you get damaged watch your battery recharge, it will keep recharging damaged batteries and burn up all your fuel.

engines run full speed anytime you need to recharge so run flank when doing so because your burning the fuel anyway.

Er, you can switch the battery reload off if they are damaged. There is a menu in the control panel that's named "standard propulsion".
It is also very handy if you are sailing in a S-Class sub that only runs on one propeller when recharging and you are trying to catch up to someone (running away doesn't work with this thing

).

Well that really sux. That is not realistic either i mean if one of our boys were stranded in the pacific i would think they would send some sort of rescue. I think this problem needs to be addressed in silent hunter 5. But thanks for all of y'alls help.

Can't disagree with you there. It's bizarre to be stalled out of fuel 100 miles from home base and they can't bother to send a replenishment tanker or a tow. I've looked to see if there are any historical incidents involving subs running dry near or far from base and needing aid, but haven't found any. They must have always done the math and kept a good eye on the gauge.

I have no doubt running out of fuel, regardless of cause, was a real career ender in real life.
