Basically yes. I suppose in real life if you were in friendly waters, a tug or tender could be dispatched to rescue you. If in unfriendly waters, maybe another sub could possibly come to your aid or take off the crew so you could scuttle. In either case you would probably be relieved of command for failing to keep an eye on the fuel situation.

SH3 had a teleport home button, but the designers didn't include it in this one. The lesson is, always keep a fuel reserve ample to get you home.
