I was chasing a convoy in the Caribbean Sea; escaping the DD I was hit by some depth charges, but magaged to repair the damage; though I could not mantain the depth at 1 knot and had to increase the speed to don't go too deep. I'd been chased for some hours by 2-3 DDs and I could not get rid of them as I had to change speed often and couldn't stay silent for too long. I had also some water entering. The uboat started to sink and go quite deep, 250\260 m. At once I heard the pressure hull cracking and bolts failing. I increased speed and released compressed air, but we did not make it.
